The Encyclopædia of sport & games
A sports and games reference published in London in 1912, drawn from a broad survey of pastimes for a general reading public. Its photographs show outdoor sport in plain documentary style: hounds working across open grassland, a mounted rope game on a flat field, and hunting dogs wading a river with spectators on the bank. A designer could take from them the strong diagonal movement of running dogs and the open landscape settings of early twentieth-century sporting life.
