EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, depicts an engaging medieval game known as 'Game of Frog' or 'Frog in the Middle.' The image showcases a group of women, their faces filled with excitement and determination, gathered around a frog-filled tub in the heart of the scene. The girl in the middle, dressed in a flowing gown, is being pulled and buffeted by her companions, trying to catch one of the amphibians with her hands. The Game of Frog was a popular pastime in medieval Europe, often played by women and children. The objective was simple yet challenging: the girl in the middle would try to catch as many frogs as possible while her friends attempted to hinder her efforts. The game required quick reflexes, agility, and a good sense of humor, as the girls would often playfully splash water and frogs at each other during the game. This intriguing illustration is taken from Joseph Strutt's comprehensive work, 'Sports and Pastimes of the People of England,' published by Chatto and Windus in London. The meticulously handcoloured lithograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the leisure activities of medieval England, providing a captivating window into the past. The illuminated manuscript-style detailing adds an extra layer of charm and authenticity to the image, making it a must-have for anyone interested in medieval history, folklore, or the social customs of the past.
