Play and recreation for the open country
Play and recreation for the open country is a 1914 book by Henry Stoddard Curtis, published in Boston and New York by Ginn and Company, aimed at rural communities planning organised play. Its photographs show outdoor games on open fields, crowds gathered along the edges, a line of children holding hands beside a schoolhouse, and villagers walking in procession, offering a designer plain documentary views of early twentieth-century rural gatherings and their spacing across flat land.
