EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "WSA-F-000154-0000" we are transported back to the early 1900s, where a group of bowlers engage in a spirited game. The scene is set on a picturesque bowling green, surrounded by lush vegetation and towering trees that provide shade on this sunny day. The architecture of the sports structure adds an air of elegance to the outdoor game, with its well-manicured lawn and carefully marked lanes. The players, all male, are dressed impeccably in fashionable clothing of the era. Their attire includes bowler hats and waistcoats, reflecting the fashion trends prevalent at that time. As we delve deeper into this portrait-like image captured by Giuseppe Wulz from Alinari, it becomes evident that these individuals take their sport seriously. Each player's concentration is palpable as they strategize their next move while holding bocce balls - an essential object for this traditional Italian game. Beyond being just a depiction of leisurely pastimes, this photograph offers us glimpses into history and culture. It showcases not only the popularity of lawn bowling during that period but also provides insights into societal norms through fashion choices and headdresses worn by both civilian and military figures present in the frame. Wulz's expert composition allows us to appreciate both the beauty of nature surrounding these athletes as well as their dedication to perfecting their craft. This timeless snapshot serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, certain traditions endure – bringing people together in friendly competition under open skies.
