EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful illustration from the 1870s depicting a lively scene of children engaged in a classic game of hoops and sticks. The image captures the pure joy and excitement of childhood as the youngsters try to maneuver their hoops around the sticks, striving to go as fast as they can. The vibrant green grass and sunlit window add to the idyllic setting, creating a charming and nostalgic scene. In the foreground, a toddler in a frilly dress and bonnet has lost her balance and fallen over, adding a touch of humor and relatability to the image. Her friends, dressed in typical Victorian attire, continue to play around her, oblivious to her momentary mishap. The sticks and hoops, simple yet timeless toys, have provided endless entertainment for generations of children. This illustration, first published in 1879, is a beautiful representation of the innocence and carefree spirit of childhood.
