EDITORS COMMENTS
Skating at Boston, 1859" is an enchanting wood engraving depicting a bustling winter scene at a skating rink in Boston, Massachusetts during the nineteenth century. The image, published in Harper's Weekly on March 12, 1859, captures the spirit of the season with its crisp, monochrome composition. At the heart of the scene, a group of men and women, dressed in fashionable yet practical attire for the frigid weather, glide effortlessly across the ice. The women, wearing long, full skirts and shawls, are expertly balanced on their skates, their faces filled with joy and concentration. The men, dressed in tailored coats and trousers, display a range of expressions from focused determination to playful merriment. In the background, a crowd of onlookers huddle around a roaring bonfire, their breath visible in the cold air. The warmth of the fire contrasts beautifully with the icy scene before them, creating a sense of community and camaraderie. The skating rink itself is a marvel of engineering, with its smooth, even surface and elegant, curved edges. The surrounding trees are bare, their branches reaching towards the sky, adding to the sense of stillness and tranquility. This wood engraving by an unknown artist, titled "Skating at Boston, 1859," offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion, culture, and social activities of the nineteenth century in America. Today, this engraving is a cherished piece of heritage art, preserved and displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, reminding us of the simple pleasures and joys of a bygone era.
