After Charles Martin Hardie DIAMOND JUBILEE PICTURE OF THE ROYAL CALEDONIAN CURLING CLUB: GRAND MATCH BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH AT CARSEBRECK 1898 a scarce coloured photogravure published by Goupil & Co circa 1899, area of restoration to the centre left, central horizontal crease becoming a tear at the right hand margin, the image 56 by 91.5cm., 22 by 36in. Hardie's original oil painting hangs in the National Galleries of Scotland. The work was commissioned to celebrate the diamond jubilee of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club in 1899 and depicts a grand match between north and south at Carsebreck in 1898. The sixty one figures are all portraits and a detailed key to their identities was published. The club owned the site at Carsebreck in Perthshire, which was deliberately flooded to form a safe playing surface for grand matches.
