EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts a lively scene of Medieval men and women engaging in a friendly game of croquet. The image, taken from Francis Cowley Burnand's "Present Pastimes of Merrie England," published in 1873, is a charming anachronism that transports us back in time. The men, dressed in tunics and hose, wield mallets with determined expressions, while the women, clad in flowing gowns and headdresses, deftly maneuver their hoops along the grassy terrain. The scene is reminiscent of the popular Victorian pastime of pall-mall, which shares some similarities with croquet, such as the use of mallets and balls. However, the medieval setting adds an intriguing twist to the game, highlighting the enduring appeal of recreational activities throughout history. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this illustration by J. E. Rogers bring the past to life, allowing us to imagine the joy and camaraderie that must have been present during these medieval gatherings. This enchanting image is a testament to the timeless nature of games and the human desire to connect and have fun, regardless of the era in which we live.
