EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Curling at an Ice Rink, Manchester" takes us back in time to the winter of 1877. The image showcases a lively scene at an ice rink in the heart of Manchester, England. Created by William Ralston, a renowned artist from the late 19th century, this print captures the essence of a popular sport known as curling. The frozen surface is filled with enthusiastic players engaged in intense competition. Men and women gracefully slide stones across the ice while others skillfully sweep ahead to guide their trajectory. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as spectators cheer on their favorite teams from behind wooden barriers. This illustration originally appeared in The Graphic on March 24th, 1877 - a testament to its historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era leisure activities and highlights the enduring popularity of curling even then. Preserved within private collections for years, this remarkable piece now finds itself under the care of Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. Its presence serves as a reminder that sports have always been an integral part of society's fabric - bringing people together through friendly competition and shared experiences. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving today, we are transported back to that icy arena in Manchester over a century ago - where passion for sport transcended time and continues to inspire generations around the world.
