EDITORS COMMENTS
Sunday Best: A Delightful Day of Rest and Recreation in 1913 Step into a bygone era with this charming illustration from the June 18, 1913, edition of Puck magazine. The scene depicts the intersection of a bustling city street and a street railway on a serene Sunday, a day dedicated to rest and relaxation. On the left, the city pulses with activity as streetcars trundle along their routes, delivering passengers to their weekend destinations. Yet, even amidst the urban hustle and bustle, the spirit of Sunday's tranquility is palpable. As we follow the winding streetcar tracks, our gaze shifts to a picturesque amusement park, where families frolic and enjoy the day. Children laugh and play on merry-go-rounds and Ferris wheels, while their parents watch on with smiles. Further along, a golf course sprawls out in lush green splendor, its fairways dotted with players in their Sunday best, taking leisurely swings and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A real estate office stands proudly at the edge of the park, its agents no doubt making deals and closing transactions. Across the way, a clubhouse buzzes with activity, its members engaged in lively conversation and friendly competition. Meanwhile, a baseball game unfolds on an adjacent field, the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd punctuating the tranquil Sunday scene. Finally, at the water's edge, a beach beckons, its golden sands and crystal-clear waters inviting visitors to unwind and soak up the sun. This delightful illustration captures the essence of a Sunday in 1913 – a day of rest, relaxation, and enjoyment for all.
