1886 Circle Cobbler Give Half Hunt Mend Past Shoe Slipper Stitch Games
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a traditional Victorian parlor game titled 'Hunt the Slipper.' This charming photograph, taken in 1886, showcases a group of ladies engaging in this fun and playful activity. The game, also known as 'Cobbler, Cobbler,' involves hiding a slipper and then singing the rhyme, 'Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe, Have it done by half past two, Stitch it up and stitch it down, And then I'll give you half a crown.' The first lady to find the hidden slipper is rewarded with a half crown, making this game a delightful way to pass the time. The ladies in the photograph are shown sitting in a circle, their elegant dresses and hats adding to the historical charm of the scene. The past seems to come alive as we imagine the laughter and camaraderie that filled the room during this game. The image is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures and social connections that have endured throughout history. The intricate detail of the photograph, from the intricately patterned dresses to the delicate lace on the slippers, transports us to a bygone era. This image is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a testament to the enduring appeal of games and the joy they bring to people of all ages. This photograph is a must-have for anyone interested in Victorian history, antique games, or simply looking for a charming addition to their home decor. Its high-resolution and rights-managed status ensure that it can be used for personal, educational, or research purposes, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
