Légende

A Popular Winter Amusement in Germany, 1898. 'This picture represents a common scene on one of the numerous lakes of the Oberspree, near Berlin. Considerable skill is necessary for balancing oneself on the little sledges, which are propelled by the aid of two long sticks shod with pointed iron; but the speed attained is almost incredible. Races are frequent, and, as may be imagined, "spills" are of common occurrence, especially at the finish'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
