This photo print, titled "A Game at Bowls, 1872" takes us back to the vibrant Victorian era in Britain. The artist behind this masterpiece is J M L R, whose attention to detail beautifully captures a scene of leisure and camaraderie. In this snapshot of history from the Illustrated London News on June 22nd, 1872, we witness men and women engrossed in a game of lawn bowls. The bowling green serves as their playground for friendly competition and social interaction. Dressed in elegant Victorian attire, these individuals exude grace and sophistication. The image showcases the diverse range of participants - both male and female - highlighting the inclusive nature of this popular pastime during that time period. As they concentrate on their throws with utmost precision, one can almost feel the excitement building up among them. This monochrome photograph not only transports us to a bygone era but also provides an intriguing glimpse into Victorian society's recreational activities.
