EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the Game of Maillard, an engraving found in the picture album "The games of childhood" from late 19th century Epinal. The image showcases a moment of leisure and playfulness, depicting a group of children engrossed in this traditional French game. Intriguingly composed by the French School artist, this artwork measures 20x14cm and is part of a larger collection consisting of 32 pages. The Game of Maillard (also known as Colin Maillard) was a popular pastime among French youth during that era. The engraving beautifully portrays the essence of childhood joy and camaraderie. One can almost hear their laughter echoing through time as they engage in this lively game. Each child eagerly participates, their youthful energy radiating from the image. Expertly captured by photographer Jean Duvallon, this print offers us a glimpse into history while evoking nostalgia for simpler times. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, traditional games hold timeless appeal. Displayed within private collections today, this piece represents an important cultural artifact that celebrates both French heritage and universal themes of childhood innocence. As we admire this enchanting engraving, let us be transported to an era where imagination reigned supreme and playful memories were made on sunny afternoons spent with friends.
