EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "The nine pin game in the mountains" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a scene from Washington Irving's famous tale, Rip Van Winkle. The illustration was created for Childhood Heroes by McLoughlin Bros in 1889 and is now part of a private collection. In this lively image, we see a group of American adventurers playing the traditional nine pin game amidst the breathtaking Catskill Mountains. The players are carrying kegs and wooden barrels filled with beer as they engage in this popular parlour game. Their enthusiasm is palpable as they aim to knock down all nine pins with their skillful throws. The artist beautifully captures both the excitement of the game and the majestic natural surroundings. The towering peaks serve as a dramatic backdrop while adding an element of adventure to this leisurely activity. It's almost as if time stands still in this moment, transporting us into an era when simple pleasures like bowling brought joy to people's lives. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this chromolitho print not only pays homage to American literature but also showcases the spirit of camaraderie that comes with friendly competition. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but feel nostalgic for a bygone era when games like these were cherished pastimes enjoyed by Americans across North America.
