EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the winter of 1867 in Paris, where the iconic Bois de Boulogne served as a picturesque backdrop for an extraordinary moment. In this wood engraving, we witness French Emperor Napoleon III gracefully gliding across a frozen lake, indulging in the timeless joy of ice skating. Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, both men and women from all walks of life gather to witness this remarkable spectacle. The upper class can be seen mingling with the middle class, momentarily forgetting their social differences as they marvel at their emperor's skill on the ice. A swan gracefully floats nearby, adding an air of elegance to the scene. The crisp winter air is palpable through this beautifully detailed engraving. It captures not only Napoleon III's confident poise but also showcases individuals enjoying various winter activities such as sled riding and ice skating. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and camaraderie as people come together to revel in the simple pleasures that wintertime brings. This historical image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and human connection during colder months. It serves as a reminder that even powerful figures like Napoleon III found solace and joy in moments shared with his subjects amidst nature's icy embrace.
