EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving from 1876 showcases the grandeur of Norwood, the home of Mrs. Charles Taylor in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. The image transports us to a time when life was simpler yet filled with elegance and charm. The stately house stands proudly amidst a picturesque street, exuding an air of sophistication that is characteristic of late 19th-century American architecture. Lush greenery surrounds the property, creating a serene oasis within the bustling city. In the foreground, we see men and women engaged in a friendly game of croquet on the well-manicured yard. This scene offers a glimpse into daily life during this era - leisurely activities enjoyed by both genders as they socialize and unwind. The print captures not only architectural beauty but also hints at North American societal norms at that time. It reflects how individuals from different walks of life would come together for recreational pursuits such as croquet, fostering community bonds while enjoying outdoor pastimes. As we admire this historic artwork by The Granger Collection, it serves as a reminder to appreciate our heritage and reflect upon how society has evolved over time.
