EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late Victorian era, around the turn of the 20th century, as we explore the captivating world of curling during this historic period. This stunning vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, beautifully captures the essence of the sport and the elegance of the era. Curling, an ancient Scottish sport, gained immense popularity during the 19th century, particularly among the upper classes. The game, which involves sliding heavy granite stones on a sheet of ice towards a target area, required a great deal of skill, precision, and teamwork. The image showcases a group of well-dressed men and women, huddled around a curling stone, their faces focused and determined. The lantern slide, a popular form of entertainment during this time, adds an intriguing layer to the photograph, suggesting that this could be a social event, perhaps even a competition. The Victorian era, known for its opulence and grandeur, is reflected in the attire of the individuals in the photograph. The women wear voluminous dresses, adorned with intricate patterns and lace, while the men don tailored suits and top hats. The setting, with its pristine ice rink and picturesque backdrop, further emphasizes the elegance and sophistication of the era. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when curling was more than just a sport; it was a cherished pastime and a symbol of status and refinement. A true treasure for history enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and intrigue of the past.
