EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant and whimsical world of 19th century Paris with this charming illustration of fashionable people playing the Capucine kissing game. The players, adorned in exquisite Empire-style costumes, sit back to back with their arms entwined as they attempt to give each other a kiss on the lips through contortions and skillful maneuvering. Captured by artist Dumailly and engraved by Schenker, this scene from Pierre de la Mesanger's Le Bon Genre exudes sophistication and playfulness. The intricate details of the clothing, furniture, and expressions on the faces of the participants transport us to a bygone era where social gatherings were filled with laughter, intrigue, and flirtation. As we gaze upon this delightful image, we can almost hear the rustle of silk skirts and feel the excitement in the air as these stylish individuals engage in a lighthearted game of seduction. It serves as a reminder that fashion has always been intertwined with leisure activities and social customs throughout history. So let us immerse ourselves in this tableau of French elegance and refinement, where every gesture is imbued with grace and charm. And perhaps we too can partake in a round of Capucine kissing game, if only to experience a taste of old-world glamour and romance.
