EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically to the International Caledonian Games of 1890. The image showcases a thrilling moment in the "Roaring Game" of Curling, a popular sport at that time. The scene is set on an icy field where athletes are engaged in an intense curling match. A group of men can be seen meticulously sweeping their brooms across the ice, creating a smooth path for the stone they have just released. Their focused expressions reveal their determination to achieve victory in this exhilarating game. Intriguingly, amidst these dedicated athletes stands a judge wearing a traditional cap, overseeing every move with utmost precision. His presence adds an air of authority and fair play to this competitive event. This engraving captures not only the physicality of curling but also its historical significance as it represents one of many international sporting events held during that era. It serves as a reminder of how sports have always brought people together from different corners of the world. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from turn-of-the-century America, we cannot help but appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back in time. This print is truly a testament to human athleticism and camaraderie that transcends generations and continues to inspire today's sporting enthusiasts.
