EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Rackets (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a delightful scene of boys engrossed in a game of rackets. The image, digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity, is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in "The Boyss Own Book" by Lockwood in 1861. In this recreation, we witness the joyous spirit of childhood as these young boys indulge in their favorite pastime. With rackets in hand and a ball bouncing between them, they exude enthusiasm and camaraderie. The setting appears to be a parlour or parlor game, suggesting that this activity was not only enjoyed outdoors but also within the confines of home. This image beautifully captures the essence of playfulness and diversion that games bring into children's lives. It reminds us of simpler times when entertainment didn't rely on screens or technology but rather on physical interaction and imagination. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it serves as a reminder to cherish those moments where fun-filled activities unite friends and create lasting memories. Whether it be through sports or other recreations, such experiences shape our character and foster bonds that withstand the test of time. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece from English School's engraving collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance while celebrating the timeless joys found within childhood games.
