Colored engravings from France's first
ice-skating manual
Le Vrai Patineur (The True Skater) written by Jean Garcin. The manual
details many movements and poses, putting an emphasis on artistry and
grace in contrast to the more straightforward technical approach usually practiced in England. The book is considered to be one of the earliest
works in any language devoted entirely to ice-skating.
