EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print captures a lively game of Twopenny Cribbage, a popular card game in 19th century Britain. Created by Thomas Rowlandson and reissued in 1810, this hand-colored etching showcases the leisurely pastime enjoyed by men during this era. The scene depicts a group of old men engrossed in their game, each player strategizing their moves with intense concentration. The colors are rich and vivid, adding to the overall charm of the artwork. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the intricate patterns on the cards to the expressions on each player's face. Rowlandson collaborated with Rudolph Ackermann and George Moutard Woodward to bring this image to life. Their combined talents have resulted in a masterpiece that not only reflects the cultural heritage of its time but also highlights the skillful artistry involved in creating such prints. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a window into an age where card games were cherished forms of entertainment. It reminds us of simpler times when people gathered together for friendly competition and camaraderie. As we admire this piece today, we can appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty that has stood the test of time.
