EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Curling Match at Montreal" takes us back to the 19th century in Canada. The scene is filled with excitement as two teams of Canadian curlers engage in a thrilling match on a frozen ice rink. The flags proudly waving in the background remind us of the national pride that accompanies this beloved sport. The image captures not only the physicality of curling but also the camaraderie and competitive spirit shared by these athletes. As they meticulously slide their stones across the ice, strategizing every move, one can almost feel the tension building up. Montreal's icy landscape serves as a picturesque backdrop for this historic event. It showcases both the beauty and harshness of winter in Canada, reminding us of how deeply ingrained winter sports are within Canadian culture. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on February 17,1855, providing readers from around the world with a glimpse into this unique Canadian pastime. Preserved through time, it now finds its place within private collections where it continues to inspire awe and admiration for both art enthusiasts and sports lovers alike. Bridgeman Images has once again brought history to life through this remarkable print – an ode to Canada's rich sporting heritage and its enduring love affair with curling.
