St. Moritz, the Alpine resort in Switzerland's Engadine valley, is the setting for this glass negative of an Anglo-American hockey team, a pairing that reflects the resort's appeal to British and American visitors in the winter season. Wealthy travelers from both countries popularized winter sports there from the late 1800s, and the natural ice of the valley lakes made it a natural place for organized skating and hockey. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, produced and distributed images like this one, but its title comes from caption cards whose details have not been independently verified, so the team's exact date and roster remain unconfirmed.
