EDITORS COMMENTS
In this amusing 19th-century engraving titled "There was an old Fellow of Colwick" we are transported to a time when parlour games were the source of much frolic and humour. The English School artist skillfully captures the essence of a bygone era, where indulging in witty banter and amusing pastimes was the norm. The image depicts an elderly gentleman, known as the "Fellow of Colwick" deep in thought during a ball game. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he contemplates his next move with great seriousness, adding to the overall humorous tone of the scene. This satirical portrayal offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's love for playful entertainment and clever wordplay. The illustration is believed to have been created for R. D. 's book "Less Eminent Victorians" published around 1927. It serves as both an entertaining visual representation and commentary on the social customs and leisure activities prevalent during that period. As we observe this delightful print from our private collection, we can't help but be reminded of how games like these brought joy and laughter to people's lives long before modern forms of entertainment took over. Let us indulge in this momentary escape into history, appreciating the wit and charm captured within this engraving by Bridgeman Images.
