EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in sports history - the International Caledonian Games of 1867. The games were held at Jones Wood, located in the heart of Manhattan, on a sunny day in July. This beautifully detailed wood engraving showcases the spirit of competition as athletes from all over America gather to showcase their skills. In this particular scene, we see men dressed in traditional Scottish kilts participating in various events. Some are engaged in a thrilling pole vault competition, while others demonstrate their agility and strength through high jumps. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as spectators cheer on their favorite athletes. The image transports us back to mid-19th century Manhattan, where uptown residents flocked to witness these extraordinary sporting feats. It serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of Scottish culture and traditions among Americans during that time. This rare piece of art provides us with a glimpse into an era when athleticism was celebrated and cherished. It reminds us that sports have always played an important role in bringing people together across cultures and generations.
