EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "George G Bussey & Cos Manufactory" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of sports equipment production. The image showcases a bustling factory scene where skilled craftsmen are diligently cutting, making, and stringing various sporting goods. In this historical snapshot, we see workers meticulously crafting bats for cricket and tennis, while others focus on assembling footballs with precision. The atmosphere is filled with activity as glueing machines hum in the background and timber is transformed into turnery for these beloved games. The manufactory's yard is strewn with materials such as paper and newspaper clippings that will be used to create patent leather balls. Every corner of this workshop exudes craftsmanship and dedication to producing quality sports equipment. This print was originally featured in The Boys Own Annual of 1893, capturing the essence of playfulness intertwined with skillful workmanship. It serves as a reminder of how important these parlour games were during that era – not only providing entertainment but also fostering camaraderie among players. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness the birthplace of our favorite ball games.
