This coloured engraving titled "Affaires du jour - la loterie" transports us back to 19th century France, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of the National Lottery. The print, created by Edme Jean Pigal and now part of a private collection, showcases an array of elements that defined French culture during this era. The image captures a bustling scene filled with excitement and anticipation. People from all walks of life can be seen gathered around an impressive building, its architectural grandeur reflecting the importance placed on this event. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of the time, adding another layer of historical context to the composition. As participants eagerly await their turn in this thrilling competition, it is evident that entertainment was highly valued in French society. The lottery served as both a source of amusement and hope for those seeking fortune or simply looking for some diversion from their daily routines. This print not only provides insight into one specific aspect of French life but also offers a broader perspective on European culture at large. It reminds us that competitions and championships have long been cherished traditions across different nations within the European Union. Through Pigal's masterful engraving technique, we are transported to an era where everyday affairs were intertwined with moments of exhilaration and possibility.
