EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print, titled "Pall Mall Game C18," offers a glimpse into the past as it depicts a group of elegant gentlemen engaged in a leisurely game of Pall Mall on a sprawling strip of land. Originating in France as a hybrid of golf and croquet, Pall Mall gained popularity in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. The objective of the game was to hit a small, hard ball through a raised metal hoop using a long-handled mallet. The historical image showcases the refined atmosphere of the sport, with the well-dressed men intently focusing on their shots while their companions look on, providing encouragement or light-hearted commentary. The large expanse of land, dotted with trees and manicured grass, adds to the serene and picturesque setting. Pall Mall was considered a popular pastime among the upper classes, and its origins can be traced back to the French game of Chole, which involved hitting a ball through a series of hoops using a club. Over time, the game evolved, incorporating elements of golf and croquet, and eventually becoming known as Pall Mall. As the centuries passed, Pall Mall fell out of favor with the rise of other sports such as cricket and football. However, this print serves as a reminder of the rich history and enduring appeal of this unique and intriguing French hybrid sport. The image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, invites us to step back in time and appreciate the grace and elegance of a bygone era.
