EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Victorian pastimes with this vintage engraving capturing a delightful game of Ring-goal, played by elegant ladies in their finest attire. Transported back to 1888, we witness the birth of a sport that never quite gained widespread popularity but remains an intriguing piece of European culture. Intriguing and unique, Ring-goal was the brainchild of an inventive undergraduate from Keble College, Oxford. Played on a specially designed ground or indoor rink, measuring 78 ft long by 10 ft wide, this enchanting game required skill and finesse. The players would use two sticks resembling miniature billiard cues to propel a ring made of split cane weighing approximately 3.5 oz through the air. The image showcases not only the intricacies of this forgotten sport but also highlights the fashion and style prevalent during the late 19th century. With its retro charm and satirical undertones, it offers us a glimpse into an era where leisure activities were both refined and entertaining. As we admire this print from duncan1890 at Fine Art Storehouse, let us appreciate how history has preserved moments like these for our enjoyment today. Immerse yourself in nostalgia as you imagine these spirited women engaging in friendly competition while embracing the spirit of camaraderie that transcends time.
