EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a whimsical scene from the past, transporting us to Paris in 1872. The image showcases a woman adorned with an extravagant feather wig and a man dressed as Gauls engrossed in a card game. This intriguing artwork graces the cover of "Histoire de France Tintamarresque" featuring cartoons by Touchatout. The French School's masterful creation portrays the essence of leisure and entertainment during that era. Amidst the smoke-filled room, we witness society indulging in vices such as smoking and drinking alcohol, reflecting the prevailing culture at the time. The woman's lingerie-clad figure adds an element of sensuality to this playful tableau. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every intricate detail of this engraving, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance. As we delve into this image, it becomes evident that gambling was also part of their amusement, adding excitement and thrill to their social gatherings. While some may find certain aspects controversial or provocative today, it is essential to view this artwork within its historical context rather than through modern lenses. It serves as a reminder of how societal norms have evolved over time. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into 19th-century France—a world filled with games, laughter, indulgence, and artistic expression—captivating our imagination while simultaneously provoking contemplation about our own cultural values and traditions.
