Légende

Skating in London: The Serpentine, 1895. 'The various London parks have rarely been so thronged at this time of the year as lately, when thousands of skaters have been disporting themselves on the frozen lakes and ponds...On the Serpentine, during the frost, it was an ordinary sight to see at least ten thousand skaters enjoying themselves on ice which was six-and-a-half inches thick'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
