EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Athletic Club at Bowling Green, ca. 1900" captures the essence of a bygone era in America's sporting history. Created by renowned artist Harry Fenn, this monochrome masterpiece showcases the architectural beauty of the club nestled amidst the picturesque landscape. The image transports us back to the late 19th century, where we witness a charming half-timbered building that exudes British influence with its mock Tudor style. The flagpole proudly stands tall against the clear sky, symbolizing unity and pride within this sports-loving community. Framed by lush green grass and surrounded by nature's tranquility, this athletic club serves as a testament to both physical prowess and social camaraderie. It was undoubtedly a gathering place for like-minded individuals who shared their passion for sports such as bowling or bowls. Harry Fenn's artistic skill shines through in his use of gouache watercolor technique, capturing every intricate detail of this architectural gem with precision. This print is now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, preserving not only Fenn's legacy but also an important piece of American heritage. As we gaze upon this historic photograph from Port Sunlight on Merseyside in England, it reminds us that sport has always played an integral role in society - fostering friendship and healthy competition across borders and generations.
