The Bowling Green, late 18th century

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back in time to witness a lively game of lawn bowls on Hurst Bowling Green in Berkshire. This historic image, captured by Michael Angelo Rooker in 1941, showcases the rich sporting heritage of England. The scene depicts a group of men engrossed in their game, skillfully rolling wooden balls across the green. The building at the center of the frame, known as the Church House, stands as a testament to the village's religious roots. Over time, it would transform into the beloved Bunch of Grapes public house. This snapshot offers more than just a glimpse into an afternoon pastime; it provides valuable insights into rural life and social history during this period. The concept of community and camaraderie shines through as these British men come together to enjoy their shared passion for sport. With its vibrant colors and rustic backdrop, this watercolor landscape captures both the beauty of nature and the spirit of English countryside living. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times and evolving landscapes, traditions like lawn bowls continue to thrive. "The Bowling Green, late 18th century" is not only an exquisite piece from Michael Angelo Rooker but also an important historical document that transports us back to an era where leisurely pursuits brought people together on village greens across Britain.
