EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the leisure activities of convalescent patients at St Bartholomews Hospital in Highgate. The scene depicts a lively game of croquet being played on the hospital grounds, providing a refreshing and social pastime for those recovering from illness. The artist, William Biscombe Gardner, skillfully captures the essence of this Victorian-era sport with his intricate engravings and vibrant hand-colouring. The players are seen wielding their mallets with precision and focus, aiming to strike their balls through strategically placed hoops on the grassy lawn. Croquet was not only an enjoyable diversion but also served as a therapeutic exercise for these sick individuals. It allowed them to engage in physical activity while enjoying each other's company in an outdoor setting. This image reflects the importance of recreation and social interaction in promoting healing and well-being during times of recovery. As we observe this historical snapshot, we are transported back to an era where hospitals embraced holistic approaches to patient care. Through this enchanting print, we can appreciate how games like croquet provided much-needed respite from illness and fostered connections among patients within the tranquil surroundings of St Bartholomews Hospital. Overall, this artwork serves as a testament to both the resilience of those undergoing medical treatment and the power of recreational activities in enhancing their overall well-being.
