1905 Ski Graffiti
Posted: Wed May 21, 2008 9:26 pm
This was a gem of a postcard found recently, showing the start of the bobsleigh run in Leysin around 1905, and it's my current favourite.
There's so much detail, which can't be shown here because of a naff scanner, but unbeatable are those guys with the logos on their sweatshirts next to the rather staid ladies - reading Pick Me Up (were they Brits?) - the other guy's logo is Quo Vadis.
Remember this was over 100 years ago, and beyond poignant - everyone in the image, even the kids, are long gone....
Pick Me Up and Quo Vadis
snow gear cool? cheerleader?
