Rotophot - Admiralspalast Cards

"The sport of figure skating burst into a spectacular theatrical art in 1911 when Leo Bartuschek formed the very first professional ice ballet company at Berlin's Admiralspalast Ice Arena. The historic initial revue, titled "Montreal a City On Skates," opened in April of that year. Herr Bartuschek staged thirteen lavish skating productions over the following eleven years, ranging from revues to full-length skating operettas and ballets with large casts and complex story lines." Many of the productions were documented on postcards issued by publishers, including Rotophot.
