EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Mummeries" takes us back to 19th century England, showcasing the rich history and pastimes of its people. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration from Joseph Strutt's renowned book "The Sports and Pastimes of the People of England". Originally published in 1801, this edition was enlarged and corrected by J Charles Cox around 1890. The image depicts a scene filled with merriment and revelry as mummers engage in various games and activities. Mumming, a traditional English custom, involved masked performers who entertained audiences through plays, dances, and other festive spectacles. With intricate engravings capturing every detail, this print offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of mummeries. It not only highlights the significance of these pastimes but also sheds light on their influence across Europe. From Germany to Northern Europe, similar traditions were celebrated under different names. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are reminded of how sports and games have always played an integral role in society – bringing people together for fun-filled moments throughout history. This particular lithograph serves as both a visual delight and a testament to the cultural heritage that continues to shape our modern-day understanding of leisure activities.
