The Bowling Green, 1887 - A Glimpse into the Pastime of British Leisure
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Peter Henry Emerson takes us back to the late 19th century in Britain. Titled "The Bowling Green, 1887" it offers a nostalgic view of a group of men engaged in a game at a bowling green. The image is part of Emerson's album "Wild Life on a Tidal Water: The Adventures of a House-Boat and Her Crew" from 1890. In this snapshot frozen in time, an elderly man stands among his fellow players, showcasing the spirit of camaraderie that defined leisure activities during that era. Dressed in old-fashioned attire, these gentlemen exude elegance and grace as they engage in this popular sport. Emerson's mastery shines through his use of photoetching techniques, capturing intricate details with precision. Each line etched onto the plate adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the lush surroundings and historic ambiance surrounding the bowling green. As we gaze upon this artwork displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported to another time—a simpler period when people found solace and joy in recreational pursuits such as bowling. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document that allows us to appreciate not only Emerson's talent but also gain insight into how our ancestors spent their leisure hours over a century ago.
