Crossword Fever in USA: A Glimpse into History
In 1925, America was swept by a craze known as Crossword Fever. This print captures the essence of that time, showcasing a proposal to erect huge crosswords at railway crossings to entertain travellers waiting for the train to pass. The idea was simple yet ingenious - why not make use of this idle time to engage people's minds with challenging puzzles?
The image depicts a group of individuals gathered around one such crossword puzzle, eagerly trying to solve it while they wait for their train. The sheer size of the crossword is impressive, spanning across multiple panels and towering over the onlookers.
This historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when games like crosswords were all the rage. It speaks to our innate desire for mental stimulation and entertainment, even in moments of downtime.
As we look back on this piece of Americana, we are reminded of the power of simple pleasures and how they can bring people together. The proposal may not have come to fruition, but its legacy lives on in our love for puzzles and games.
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online is more than just a visual representation - it is a window into a moment in time when Crossword Fever gripped the nation.
