EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1890, we are transported back in time to witness the sheer strength and skill of an athlete participating in the International Caledonian Games. The late 19th century setting is evident through the traditional attire worn by the competitors, with this particular image capturing a man donning a kilt, cap, and sporran. The focal point of the print is undoubtedly the athlete himself as he prepares to throw the hammer with all his might. His muscular physique speaks volumes about his dedication to training for such a demanding event. With his feet firmly planted on the ground and body twisted in perfect form, he exudes confidence and determination. The atmosphere surrounding him is charged with anticipation as spectators eagerly watch his every move. The turn of the century crowd can be seen cheering on their favorite athletes from behind wooden barriers that enclose them within a designated area. This historic photograph encapsulates not only physical prowess but also cultural pride as it showcases one of Scotland's most iconic sporting events - The Caledonian Games. It serves as a reminder of our timeless fascination with human achievement and our enduring appreciation for sportsmanship throughout history.
