EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a moment in the lives of French aristocrats as they engage in a game of draughts. Created by Nicolas Arnoult, a renowned artist from the 17th century, this print showcases the leisurely activities enjoyed by the upper echelons of society during that time. In this scene, we see an elegant group gathered around a table, engrossed in their strategic moves. A fop pushes one of the draughts while a woman reaches out to pick up another piece. Another woman stands nearby, observing the game with interest. The atmosphere is one of sophistication and refinement. The lithograph itself was produced in 1906 as part of Henry Rene d Allemagnes Recreations et Passe-Temps collection, which focused on various games and pastimes throughout history. This particular image provides us with insight into both French culture and societal norms during the late 17th or early 18th century. The black and white composition adds to its timeless appeal, transporting us back to an era when parlour games were cherished forms of entertainment among aristocrats. It serves as a reminder that even amidst their opulent lifestyles, these individuals found joy and camaraderie through simple pleasures like playing board games. This exquisite print offers us not only a glimpse into history but also invites contemplation on how leisure activities have evolved over time while reminding us that human connection through play has always been valued across generations.
