EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kayles (litho)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a popular pastime enjoyed by the English people. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Joseph Strutt's book, "The Sports and Pastimes of the People of England". This new edition, edited by J Charles Cox in 1890, includes exquisite reproductions of illustrations from the original publication. In this historical depiction, we witness a group of individuals engrossed in a game of Kayles. Originating from Germany but widely played across Europe, Kayles was an exciting bowling sport that captivated both young and old alike. The players are seen enthusiastically engaging in this parlour game, demonstrating their skill and precision as they aim to knock down wooden pins with a ball. The image not only provides insight into the history of sports and games but also offers glimpses into English culture during that era. It serves as a reminder that leisure activities have always been an integral part of society's fabric throughout time. As we admire this enchanting engraving from Northern Germany, it sparks curiosity about how these traditional pastimes have evolved over centuries while still retaining their charm. This European gem invites us to appreciate our shared heritage while celebrating the joyous spirit fostered through friendly competition and camaraderie on the playing field.
