EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Scottish sports history - the Curling Match between the Earl of Mansfield and the Earl of Eglington on Airthrie Loch. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, beautifully depicts this thrilling event that took place on a frozen loch. The scene is filled with excitement as both noblemen engage in a friendly yet competitive game of curling. With brooms in hand and intense focus on their faces, they skillfully slide large granite stones across the icy surface towards a target area known as "the house". The tranquility of Airthrie Loch serves as a picturesque backdrop to this exhilarating match. This image was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 26,1850, providing readers with an insight into Scotland's beloved winter sport. It showcases not only the physical prowess required for curling but also highlights its social significance among aristocrats during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are transported back to a time when camaraderie and competition intertwined amidst nature's frozen beauty. This artwork serves as a testament to Scotland's rich sporting heritage and reminds us of the timeless joy found in outdoor pursuits.
