Summer in the Country - A Glimpse into 19th Century American Leisure
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Summer in the Country (Appletons Journal, Vol. I), July 10,1869" transports us back to a bygone era of leisurely pursuits and Victorian charm. Created by John Karst, this wood engraving captures the essence of summertime recreation in rural America. In this idyllic scene, we see a group of women elegantly engaged in a game of croquet on a lush green lawn. The intricate details showcase their fashionable attire and delicate movements as they skillfully wield their croquet mallets. This popular sport was not only an opportunity for friendly competition but also served as a social gathering for women during that time. The image is part of Appleton's Journal, an esteemed magazine from the late 19th century that chronicled various aspects of American life. It offers us a glimpse into how people spent their leisure time amidst picturesque landscapes and serene surroundings. As we admire this historic snapshot captured by Karst's skilled hand, it serves as a reminder of simpler times when summer meant embracing outdoor activities with grace and style. Let us appreciate the beauty and elegance depicted within this artwork while reflecting on our own modern-day summers filled with cherished memories made under sunny skies.
