EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print by Anthonie van den Bos and Jan van Kessel depicts a lively scene of ice fun on the corner of Spui and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The image, dated between 1773 and 1838, showcases the joy and camaraderie of the local community as they make the most of the frozen canal. The intricate drawing captures the essence of the Dutch winter, with houses and buildings standing proudly on either side of the icy waterway. Boats and rowing boats are frozen in place, transformed into makeshift slides for the children, who are seen joyfully sliding down the smooth ice. Men are shown ice skating and playing ice hockey, their determination etched on their faces as they engage in friendly competition. The bridge in the background adds to the sense of geographical feature and location, with the low country's unique canal system taking center stage. The use of ink on paper adds depth and texture to the image, making it a valuable addition to any art or heritage collection. The concept of leisure and pastime is beautifully captured in this drawing, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the Dutch people during the eighteenth century. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands and the importance of art in capturing the essence of a moment in time. It invites us to imagine the laughter and joy that filled the air as the community came together to enjoy the winter weather, making it a treasured piece for any art lover or historian.
