EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Snow Shoe Hurdle Race Montreal" by John Short takes us back to the winter of 1835, as depicted in a Victorian illustrated newspaper. The image transports us to the bustling streets of London, where an exhilarating snow shoe hurdle race is taking place amidst a snowy landscape. The scene showcases the sheer excitement and adrenaline that fills the air during this unique sporting event. A group of skilled athletes gracefully navigate their way through a challenging obstacle course, leaping over hurdles with remarkable agility on their snow shoes. The frozen carriage tracks provide a perfect backdrop for this thrilling spectacle. The etch block letterpress printing technique used in this artwork adds depth and texture to every detail captured by Short's lens. The monochromatic tones evoke a sense of nostalgia while highlighting the contrast between light and shadow on the icy surface. Notably absent from this snapshot are any commercial elements or branding, allowing viewers to fully immerse themselves in the raw beauty and energy of this historic moment. As we gaze upon these brave competitors defying gravity with each leap, we can almost feel our own hearts racing alongside them. Short's skillful composition captures not only the physical prowess required for such an event but also conveys a sense of camaraderie among participants and spectators alike. This timeless photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to human resilience in embracing challenges head-on – even when faced with freezing temperatures and treacherous conditions.
