Karl Schäfer's slow toe-spin, Hilde Holofski's split jump and Grete Lainer's spread-eagle are among the movements caught in the prints by Karl Schleich, a photographer working in Vienna. His photographs were published as heliogravure illustrations in Manfred Curry's Le patinage artistique, issued by Delagrave in 1935. Schäfer also appears as champion, and the pair skaters include Papetz and Zwack. The Holzmann sisters and Maribel Vinson widen the range of performers, and Liselotte Landbeck brings in speed skating.
