About This Design

Vintage - Awkward Snow Skiing Couple,

Vintage - Awkward Snow Skiing Couple,

Vintage artwork by Arthur Thiele depicts a comical scene on the slopes where a couple is snow skiing. The woman is either a novice or has gotten herself out of control on her skiis. In an attempt to stay upright and come to a stop, she grabs the man around the neck, pulling his head back and covering his eyes so that he can't see where he's headed. He sideswipes a fence, but her skiis are headed right into the fence. Other skiiers around them look on in disbelief. The German artist, Carl Robert Arthur Thiele (1860-1936) commonly went by the name Arthur Thiele. He was an illustrator of books, sheet music and postcards. He was famous for his comical anthropomorphic animals dressed in clothing and depicted in human-like scenes. Dachshunds were a favourite subject of his. In addition to animals, other subjects he illustrated were sports postcards, vegetables brought to life, snowmen, bathing beauties, and WW1 era propaganda postcards. The Internet is full of references confusing Carl Robert Arthur Thiele with another German painter of his time named Julius Arthur Thiele who painted landscapes. They are not the same artist. This card is blank inside for your own message.

Lovely quality cards. Nice to get a real traditional Chrismassy theme in Australia, not the beach and Australian animals stuff. Excellent, would use again
