Read moreSonja Henie, Gillis Grafström and other champions spin, leap and glide through prints from Le patinage artistique, Dr Manfred Curry's book published by Librairie Delagrave in Paris in 1935. The illustrations show leading competitive skaters, pairs and demonstrations, with spins, spread-eagles and airborne poses alongside more playful and acrobatic figures on the ice. Davos, St Moritz, Arosa and other winter resorts provide the setting, and mountain scenery and ice hockey widen the picture of 1930s winter sport.
