EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print titled "The Roarin Game" we are transported back to the winter of 1921, where a thrilling competition unfolds on the icy terrain. The image showcases the national sport of Scotland - curling, also known as "The Roarin Game". With its origins deeply rooted in Scottish culture, this game involves throwing large rounded stones onto the frozen surface, aiming for precision and distance. As we delve into history through this snapshot, we witness an extraordinary event. Thirty-six Canadian champions have crossed oceans to challenge their Scottish and English counterparts in a battle of skill and camaraderie. The teams stand ready with brooms in hand, poised to slide their stones across the ice towards the target. Amidst freezing temperatures and biting coldness, these athletes demonstrate both grace and determination as they navigate their way through this strategic game. Their every move is accompanied by sweeping brooms that smooth out the path for each stone's journey. This photograph captures not only a sporting event but also a momentous cultural exchange between nations. It symbolizes unity among competitors from different corners of Europe and North America who gather together to celebrate their shared love for this ancient sport. Through Beltrame's vivid illustration, we are reminded of the beauty found within winter's embrace – where snow-covered landscapes become arenas for athletic prowess.
