Checker Players, ca. 1895 - A Glimpse into the Pastime of American Boys
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this oil painting by Thomas Pollock Anshutz, titled "Checker Players" we are transported back to the late 19th century in America. The artist beautifully captures a moment of leisure and camaraderie as two young boys engage in a game of checkers. Set against a rustic backdrop, the scene exudes nostalgia and simplicity. The vibrant colors bring life to the canvas, showcasing Anshutz's mastery in capturing human emotion through his brushstrokes. As we observe these young players engrossed in their strategic moves, it becomes evident that board games were not only sources of entertainment but also valuable tools for education and intellectual development during this era. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage embedded within American society at that time. It reminds us of an era when people found solace and joy in simple pleasures like playing board games with friends or family members. Preserved by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, this piece stands as a cherished relic from our past—a window into an age where technology had yet to dominate our lives. Through Anshutz's skillful portrayal, we can almost hear the laughter and feel the excitement emanating from these checker players. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, let us appreciate its historical significance while reflecting on how such timeless activities continue to shape our lives even now.
