"Picnicking: A Timeless Tradition of Togetherness and Delight" From Bell Picnics in Iraq to the Henley Regatta, Ascot, and beyond, it has been a cherished activity enjoyed by people across time and cultures. Dating back to as early as 1802 in Greenwich Park, this delightful pastime continues to bring joy and create lasting memories. In July 1927, The Needlewoman cover featured a picturesque scene of friends or family members enjoying a leisurely picnic. Similarly, a group in Victoria, Australia embraced the beauty of the countryside while indulging in delicious treats during their outdoor gathering in 1910. Looking further into history, we find an enchanting image from Marshall Hall, Maryland captured by William Cruikshank in 1893. This snapshot showcases the timeless appeal of picnics that transcends generations. Even young Maximilian Sforza found solace and nourishment amidst nature's embrace as he savored his meal in the garden – an endearing illustration from Ars grammatica (velum). Across continents and eras alike, families have come together on Sundays for heartwarming picnics. Dorothea Lange's lens immortalized one such moment during Grants Pass' Sunday family picnic in Oregon's Josephine County back in 1939. "The Picnic, " painted with oil on canvas between 1934-1935 captures the essence of this beloved tradition perfectly – laughter echoing through lush landscapes as loved ones gather around checkered blankets laden with delectable delights. Whether it be under Iraqi skies or at renowned events like Henley Regatta or Ascot; whether it takes place within Chertsey's serene surroundings or among towering trees where five children playfully explore woodlands - picnicking remains an enduring symbol of connection and joy throughout history. So grab your basket filled with scrumptious goodies; spread out that checkered blanket.
