1875 Croquet Delicate Moment Pennsylvania Philadelphia
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite image captures a delicate moment during a croquet game at Merion Cricket Club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the year 1875. The game of croquet, which originated in France and gained immense popularity in the United States during the late 19th century, was considered a refined and elegant pastime for the upper classes. The ladies in this photograph, dressed in their finest attire, exhibit the grace and poise that were essential elements of the sport. With their parasols shielding them from the sun and their gloved hands gently guiding the mallets, they demonstrate the dainty and precise movements required to navigate the croquet course. The lush green lawn, adorned with colorful hoops and wickets, sets the perfect stage for this tranquil scene. The serene expression on the faces of the players adds to the overall sense of elegance and sophistication, making this photograph a beautiful representation of the leisurely pursuits of the Victorian era in America.
