EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a delightful scene from the enchanting world of croquet. Taken from the book "What are we playing?" by E. Weber, this engraving is brought to life with vibrant watercolor drawings by Robert Salles. Published in 1920 by Librairie Garnier Freres in Paris, this book offers a comprehensive guide to over 30 games and their variations. In this particular image, we see a charming garden setting where children are engrossed in a game of croquet. The illustration beautifully depicts the joy and excitement that comes with outdoor play during childhood. The French countryside provides an idyllic backdrop as these young players engage in friendly competition. The skillful use of color adds depth and liveliness to the artwork, highlighting every detail of the scene. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to a simpler time when games like croquet were cherished pastimes for both children and adults alike. This print is part of a private collection belonging to Robert Salles (1871-1929), an artist known for his evocative illustrations capturing moments of leisure and playfulness. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of classic games such as croquet and reminds us of the importance of embracing our inner child through joyful activities.
