PCT5618409 gut9894; (add.info.: Un couple (jeune homme et jeune femme) s'exerce au diabolo. Cet instrument ancien de jonglerie (jonglage) est utilise pour un jeu d'adresse ancestral ou l'on propulse en l'air une bobine (volant) le plus haut possible pour la rattraper ensuite sur un fil tendu entre deux baguettes qu'on tient dans les mains. Un effet gyroscopique permet de maintenir le diabolo en rotation en equilibre sur le fil. Carte postale colorisee debut 20e siecle ©Gusman/Leemage); © Patrice Cartier. All rights reserved 2024

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a young couple practicing the art of diabolo, an ancient juggling instrument. The diabolo is used in a traditional game of skill where a spool (or shuttlecock) is propelled into the air as high as possible and then caught on a string stretched between two sticks held in the hands. The gyroscopic effect allows the diabolo to spin and balance on the string.
Taken at the beginning of the 20th century, this colorized postcard showcases the elegance and grace of this leisure activity popular in France and across Europe. The couple's costumes add to the charm of this nostalgic scene, highlighting their dedication to mastering this classic toy.
The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when hobbies like diabolo were enjoyed during spare moments. It serves as a reminder of how playfulness and creativity have always been important aspects of human leisure activities.
Captured by © Patrice Cartier, this photograph not only documents a moment in history but also celebrates the beauty and skill involved in traditional games like diabolo. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of simple pleasures that bring joy and entertainment to people across generations.
