EDITORS COMMENTS
Curling in Central Park, New York: A Chilling Winter Pastime Unfolds between 1900 and 1906 This black-and-white photograph, captured between 1900 and 1906, portrays a group of men engaged in the winter sport of curling on the frozen expanse of Central Park in New York City. The location, Manhattan Island, New York, United States of America, is a stark contrast to the usual hustle and bustle of urban life, as the wintry scene is blanketed in snow. The image, a dry plate negative or glass negative, was likely taken by an unknown photographer, possibly Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both known for their documentation of winter sports during this era. The Detroit Publishing Company or Congressional Library may have published this photograph, but its origin remains uncertain. Curling, an ancient Scottish sport, gained popularity in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this photograph, the men, dressed in heavy coats and hats, are intently focused on their game, their faces etched with determination and concentration. The icy conditions of Central Park's Sheep Meadow provide the perfect setting for this leisurely yet competitive activity. The photograph's title, "Curling in Central Park, New York," is a testament to the enduring appeal of winter sports and the simple joy of spending a day outdoors with friends. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment of frozen fun and camaraderie.
