EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolitho print captures a delightful scene from 19th century rural Britain. Titled "Boys racing their hoops to the finishing post" it showcases the exuberance and camaraderie of childhood play. A group of young boys can be seen eagerly racing their hoops down a hill, with determination etched on their faces. The countryside backdrop adds to the idyllic charm of this Victorian era snapshot. The image is brimming with life as these children engage in outdoor entertainment, relishing in the simple joys that nature provides. Their laughter fills the air as they compete for victory, each hoping to be crowned the winner at the finishing post. Alongside them stands a signpost, guiding them towards their destination while geese roam freely nearby. This artwork was originally published as an illustration in "The Prize for Girls and Boys" in January 1897 by Wells Gardner, Darton and Co. , London. It beautifully encapsulates British culture during this time period when children found solace and amusement through imaginative games played outdoors. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a bygone era where innocence thrived and friendships were forged through shared adventures. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when joy could be found in something as humble as racing hoops down a country road.
