EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old English Sports and Games: Bowls, 1901" takes us back in time to the Edwardian era, where leisurely activities were enjoyed on a lush green lawn. The scene depicts a group of distinguished gentlemen engaged in a game of bowls, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of society life during that period. The image captures the essence of this bygone era with its portrayal of well-dressed men sporting top hats and Victorian attire. Their concentration is evident as they carefully aim their boules towards the target, skillfully maneuvering them across the grassy surface. Intriguingly, amidst these players stands a churchman or cleric, adding an unexpected twist to this recreational gathering. Perhaps he is taking advantage of his day off from ministerial duties to partake in some friendly competition. The presence of a butler nearby suggests that this game was not only for gentlemen's enjoyment but also served as entertainment for those serving in British households. It highlights how sports could bridge social divides and bring people together regardless of their station in life. This beautifully colored lithograph transports us back to an era when outdoor games were cherished pastimes. It reminds us that even amid our busy lives today, it is important to take moments for leisure and recreation – just like these Edwardian gentlemen did over a century ago on that idyllic green lawn.
