1858 Crinoline Hunt Slipper Games
Le Furet,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or The Slipper Hunt, is an intriguing and whimsical 19th-century French game depicted in this print from Mary Evans Prints Online. Dating back to 1858, this game appears to be a delightful pastime for the aristocracy, showcasing an elegant gathering of ladies in crinoline dresses and gentlemen in formal attire. The game's objective is to locate a hidden slipper using only the sense of touch, as the players are blindfolded. The print captures the excitement and anticipation as one lady, wearing a blindfold, reaches out to touch an object while her friends try to misdirect her by placing various items in her path. The playful banter and laughter are evident in the expressions and gestures of the participants, adding to the overall charm of the scene. The intricate details in the print, from the delicate crinoline dresses to the ornate furnishings, provide a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the Victorian era. The use of soft pastel colors and the warm, inviting lighting further emphasize the cozy and welcoming atmosphere of the gathering. Le Furet offers a fascinating glimpse into the social customs and pastimes of the 19th century, providing a captivating window into history. The print's timeless appeal and the allure of the hidden slipper game continue to intrigue and delight viewers, making it a must-have for any collection focused on the history of games, Victorian era, or social customs.
