This print takes us back to the winter of 1885 in Canada, where a thrilling curling match is taking place. The wood engraving, created by an American artist, beautifully captures the essence of this popular Canadian sport. A group of dedicated athletes can be seen on a vast expanse of ice, fully immersed in their game. The men are dressed warmly for the chilly weather, donning heavy coats and hats as they glide across the frozen surface. Each player holds a broom in hand, skillfully sweeping the ice ahead of a large stone sliding towards its target. Their focused expressions reveal their determination to outmaneuver their opponents and achieve victory. The scene radiates with energy and camaraderie as these athletes engage in friendly competition amidst the serene winter landscape. The intricate details etched into every line showcase both the artistry of wood engraving and the intensity of this beloved sport.
