This is a vintage black and white photograph of a sequence of diagrams illustrating figure skating movements. The image is divided into two sections. The top section shows a circular arrangement of 27 numbered diagrams depicting a skater in various positions, seemingly illustrating a continuous movement. The skater is shown in silhouette, with arms and legs extended in different poses, suggesting a fluid motion around a circle. The background is a blurred view of an ice rink with spectators and a mountain range in the distance. The bottom section shows a linear arrangement of 9 diagrams of a skater in different poses, with arrows indicating the direction of movement. These diagrams appear to illustrate a different skating technique or sequence. The image has a caption at the bottom that reads "FIGURE 19. INSIDE FORWARD AND OUTSIDE BACK BRACKETS". The overall impression is that of an instructional diagram from a vintage figure skating manual.
