EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. B.C. Apps, a graceful and elegant figure, captivates the eye in this early 1930s photograph as she plays a leisurely game of croquet on a lush, manicured lawn. The tranquil setting, adorned with vibrant flowers and a picturesque hedge, transports us back in time to a more leisurely era. Mrs. Apps, dressed in the height of 1920s and 1930s fashion, dons a stylish flapper-inspired dress with a fitted waist and full skirt, accessorized with a chic cloche hat and pearl earrings. Her white croquet mallet and colorful croquet balls complete the scene, adding a touch of whimsy and playfulness to the image. Croquet, a popular lawn sport originating in the 19th century, was a favorite pastime for the affluent and fashionable during this period. The game, which involves hitting balls through hoops or wickets with a mallet, required a certain level of skill and finesse, making it an ideal activity for social gatherings and garden parties. This photograph, a precious snapshot of history, not only showcases the elegance and sophistication of the past but also offers a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the time. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty of a simpler era, where leisurely pursuits and fashionable attire combined to create timeless memories.
