EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CROQUET, 1866" takes us back to a simpler time in American history. The wood engraving, created in 1866, captures the essence of a popular recreational activity that swept across middle America during this era. In the image, we see a group of players engaged in an intense croquet competition. The scene exudes an air of camaraderie and friendly rivalry as each player strategizes their next move. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the lush green lawn and meticulously placed wickets. This engraving not only showcases the game itself but also offers a glimpse into daily life during this period. Croquet became increasingly popular among Americans as it provided both entertainment and exercise for people of all ages. It was seen as a way to escape from the pressures of everyday life and enjoy leisurely moments with friends and family. As we admire this vintage artwork by The Granger Collection from New York, we are reminded of how simple pleasures like croquet have stood the test of time. This print serves as a nostalgic reminder that amidst technological advancements and societal changes, there will always be room for cherished pastimes that bring people together.
