ROQGUE PLAYER, 1941 - A Glimpse into Summer Recreation in San Diego
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back to the summer of 1941 in sunny San Diego, California. Captured by the talented photographer Russell Lee, it showcases a man engrossed in a game of roque - a lesser-known variation of croquet. In this mid-day scene, we see the unidentified player fully immersed in his leisurely pursuit. Dressed casually with a cap and visor shielding him from the Californian sun, he holds a mallet poised to strike the ball. The image exudes an air of concentration mixed with relaxation as he navigates through the intricacies of this classic American pastime. The composition transports us to another era when outdoor games were cherished moments for socializing and unwinding amidst nature's beauty. As part of Lee's documentation during his time working for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image also reflects aspects of New Deal initiatives that aimed to provide recreational opportunities for Americans during challenging times. Printed by The Granger Collection on high-quality paper, this print serves as both an artistic homage and historical artifact. It invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also offers insight into how people found solace and joy through simple pleasures like playing roque. Whether you are an art enthusiast or history buff, "ROQGUE PLAYER, 1941" is sure to captivate your imagination while reminding us
