1810 Blind Buff Gentlemen Plays Games
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to an elegant gathering in France during the early 19th century. The year is circa 1810, and the setting is the grand salon of a nobleman's residence. The air is filled with the sound of laughter and merriment as the refined guests engage in a lively game of Blind Man's Buff. Blind Man's Buff, also known as Touch the Leader, is a traditional English folk game that has been enjoyed for centuries. The objective of the game is for one person, the 'blind man,' to tag the other players, who are all trying to hide from him. In this sophisticated rendition, the game is played with a touch of elegance and decorum. The blindfolded gentleman, dressed in a fashionable coat and waistcoat, is assisted by a lady, who holds the end of his scarf. The other ladies and gentlemen, clad in their finest attire, carefully navigate around the room, ensuring they do not become the next to be tagged. The intricate details of the scene are a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time. The ornate wallpaper, the gilded mirrors, and the delicate porcelain adorning the shelves all contribute to the sense of wealth and refinement. The elegant ladies, with their flowing gowns and intricate hairstyles, and the well-dressed gentlemen, with their polished shoes and well-groomed appearances, exude an air of sophistication and charm. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness a moment of joy and camaraderie in a bygone era. The game of Blind Man's Buff may have been a simple pastime, but in the hands of these elegant French participants, it became a symbol of the richness and elegance of the time.
