EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Barley Break, Great Hillsborough" takes us back to 19th century England and offers a glimpse into the customs and traditions of that era. The illustration is part of John Brand's book "Observations on Popular Antiquities" published in 1877. The scene depicted showcases a lively game of Barley Break being played in the picturesque village of Great Hillsborough. This traditional game was popular among the English population during this time period. It involved players forming two teams and chasing each other through fields or streets while trying to catch members from the opposing team. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this age-old custom, emphasizing both the social aspect as well as its historical significance. The intricate details within the engraving transport us to a bygone era where community gatherings like these were cherished moments for people to come together. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how deeply rooted traditions shape societies and connect generations across time. It serves as a testament to our shared history and cultural heritage. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also reflect upon our own customs and rituals that define who we are as individuals and communities.
