EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a unique and entertaining event known as "Bobbing for Buns" in Richmond, Cape Colony. Created by Henry Marriott Paget, this print showcases the lively atmosphere and excitement surrounding this novel sport. In the image, we see a group of people gathered around a large tub filled with water. Participants eagerly lean over the tub, their eyes fixed on the prize - delicious buns floating on its surface. The scene is filled with anticipation and laughter as individuals attempt to snatch these treats using only their mouths. The event takes place against the backdrop of beautiful South African scenery, showcasing both leisure and entertainment in Cape Colony during that era. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on April 19th, 1902. "Bobbing for Buns" offers us a glimpse into an unconventional sporting activity that brought joy to the residents of Richmond. It reflects how even simple pleasures can create lasting memories and unite communities. Now preserved in a private collection, this artwork continues to capture our imagination with its vibrant depiction of an extraordinary event from history. Through this lithograph, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the fun-filled spirit of early 20th-century South Africa.
