EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Animals Imitated" takes us back to 19th century England and offers a glimpse into the sports and pastimes of that era. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration for Joseph Strutt's book "The Sports and Pastimes of the People of England". Originally published in 1801, this new edition from around 1890 features beautifully reproduced illustrations. In this particular image, we see various animals being imitated by players engaged in a lively game. The scene exudes historical charm as it showcases traditional English games that were popular during that time. It serves as a testament to the rich history and culture surrounding recreational activities in England. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; each figure is meticulously depicted with precision and skill. From ball games to parlor games, these pastimes provided entertainment for people across Europe during this period. While the focus is on English sports and pastimes, it also hints at the influence of German culture on these activities. With references to Germany scattered throughout the caption, it highlights how different European nations influenced one another's sporting traditions. Overall, this print transports us back in time through its vivid depiction of historical games and recreations enjoyed by people long ago. It invites viewers to appreciate both the similarities and differences between pastimes then and now while celebrating our shared human love for playfulness and competition.
