EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Golf is not the Only Game on Earth" by Charles Dana Gibson takes us back to a whimsical scene from 1896. The image showcases an amusing twist on the popular sport of golf, reminding us that there are countless other games to be enjoyed in life. In this delightful illustration, we see cherubs and putti playfully engaging in various sports activities amidst a heavenly backdrop. Cupid himself appears as the mischievous game master, overseeing the fun-filled chaos unfolding below. With their bows and arrows set aside momentarily, these cherubic figures demonstrate their versatility by indulging in different games beyond traditional golf. The artist's clever portrayal of unrequited love adds an additional layer of charm to this piece. As we observe these celestial beings engrossed in their playful pursuits, it becomes evident that even cupids can find solace and amusement outside matters of the heart. "Golf is not the Only Game on Earth" serves as a reminder that life offers endless opportunities for enjoyment and entertainment beyond our usual pastimes. Through Gibson's skillful handiwork, he invites viewers to embrace lightheartedness and explore new avenues of recreation with childlike curiosity. This enchanting print captures both humor and imagination while showcasing Gibson's artistic prowess. It stands as a testament to his ability to transport us into fantastical worlds where even cherubs take breaks from shooting arrows to engage in earthly delights.
