The photograph was part of a series documenting alpine skiing in the Alps and was published in the magazine's December 23, 1957, issue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZermatt, nestled at the base of the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps, has ranked among the world's premier skiing destinations since the early twentieth century. Its dramatic scenery and deep powder snow, combined with access to some of the highest skiable terrain in Europe, have attracted skiers for generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrissell brought the same creative vision to her sports photography that distinguished her fashion work for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, capturing athletes in motion against spectacular natural backdrops. Her color images from mountain assignments preserve a remarkably vibrant record of mid-century skiing culture at its most glamorous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis stunning photograph stands as a testament to Frissell's remarkable ability to convey the thrill of alpine sport amid breathtaking mountain scenery, offering a window into the golden age of European skiing. It appeals to collectors of vintage winter sports photography, Swiss alpine imagery, and mid-twentieth-century editorial photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"8x12 Inch","offer_id":48313780666557,"sku":"ENPM0440_0812P","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x17 Inch","offer_id":48313780699325,"sku":"ENPM0440_1117P","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":48313780732093,"sku":"ENPM0440_1624P","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 Inch","offer_id":48313780764861,"sku":"ENPM0440_2436P","price":97.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/13QsxZnKMk1UhvnFkI6c17ZLVxNz3RuL1_w1000.jpg?v=1787552076","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/products\/1939-hiking-wpa-poster-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
