EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Shinnie on Blackheath" takes us back to 19th century London where a group of highlanders engage in an exhilarating game of shinty. The image showcases the rich tradition and vibrant energy surrounding this ancient Scottish sport. Set against the backdrop of Blackheath, a historic open space in southeast London, the scene is filled with men dressed in traditional Highland attire. Their kilts swirl as they fiercely compete, their passion for the game evident in every movement. Published in the Illustrated London News on July 12,1845, this print captures a moment frozen in time. It offers us a glimpse into both sporting history and cultural heritage. The players' determination and camaraderie are palpable as they skillfully maneuver their wooden sticks to strike the small ball across the field. The artist's attention to detail transports us back to an era when sports were played not only for competition but also as expressions of identity and community spirit. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring power of traditions that transcend time and geographical boundaries. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we cannot help but be reminded of how sports have always brought people together – bridging gaps between cultures while celebrating individual skills and collective achievements.
