EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1870, where two elegant ladies engage in a spirited croquet match at the prestigious Wimbledon Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in England. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this Victorian-era game, showcasing both its competitive nature and fashionable appeal. The scene unfolds outdoors, with lush green lawns serving as the backdrop for this leisurely yet intense battle. Dressed impeccably in their upper-class attire, these women epitomize grace and refinement as they skillfully maneuver their mallets across the course. One can almost feel the excitement building as spectators gather around to witness this genteel sport. Amidst all the action, a parasol adds an extra touch of sophistication to one lady's ensemble while providing respite from the sun's rays. It is clear that croquet was not just a game but also an opportunity for socializing and displaying one's sense of style. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back in time to a bygone era when outdoor recreation held great importance among society's elite. This wood engraving serves as a testament to how sports like croquet were not only enjoyed but also celebrated for their ability to bring people together in friendly competition amidst beautiful surroundings.
