EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "A New Art-if-Ice - Doubly Hazardous" created by the renowned artist George Cruikshank, takes us back to a time when ice skating was not only a popular pastime but also an art form. The print, now part of a private collection, showcases Cruikshank's exceptional talent for capturing humor and satire in his artwork. In this cartoon-like depiction, we are transported to a frozen lake where skaters glide across the icy surface with grace and elegance. However, as the title suggests, there is an added element of danger lurking beneath their feet. The concept of "doubly hazardous" refers to the treacherous nature of ice skating itself combined with unexpected obstacles that lie hidden beneath the frozen surface. Cruikshank's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving tool. From the intricate patterns on each skater's attire to their exaggerated expressions and comical poses, he masterfully brings this scene to life. Through his unique artistic style and clever storytelling ability, Cruikshank invites viewers into a world where laughter intertwines with peril. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate how it captures both the joy and precariousness inherent in pursuing new forms of artistic expression – even if it means venturing onto
