The Curlers
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the timeless sport of curling. This print, part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence and excitement of this icy game. The image depicts a group of dedicated curlers engrossed in their match on a frozen lake. With intense focus and precision, they skillfully slide the granite stones across the ice towards their target known as "the house". The players' determined expressions reveal their competitive spirit as they strategize each move. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this digitally cleaned image. From the intricate patterns etched into the ice to the carefully rendered facial features, one can almost feel the chill in the air and hear the satisfying sound of stone meeting stone. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for The Leisure Hour magazine in 1872, capturing both its historical significance and artistic value. It serves as a reminder that sports have always been an integral part of human leisure activities throughout history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its cultural importance. "The Curlers" invites us to step into another era and witness firsthand how passion for sports transcends time.
