EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating scene from the past. In this image, taken by Stefano Bianchetti, we are transported back to the winter of 1927 in the Alpine region. The focus of the picture is on a group of alpine inhabitants who are diligently collecting ice blocks during the winter season for use in the summer. Intriguingly, while these individuals go about their task, men can be seen in the background engaging in various winter sports. This contrast between work and play adds depth to the composition and highlights both aspects of life in this mountainous region. The illustration was originally featured in "Le Pelerin" magazine on December 18th, 1927. It showcases Damblans' artistic talent as he masterfully depicts this unique moment frozen in time. As we observe this snapshot from history, we can't help but marvel at how different life was almost a century ago. From horse-drawn sledges transporting people and goods through snowy landscapes to locals relying on natural resources like ice for their daily needs - it's a glimpse into an era long gone. Stefano Bianchetti has beautifully captured not only the essence of Alpine life but also its connection with nature and seasonal cycles. This print serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resourcefulness and adaptability amidst challenging conditions.
