EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Taking up a bet" transports us back to the elegant world of 18th-century France. Engraved by Camligue in 1777, this exquisite piece captures a moment of triumph as a male and female couple stand proudly on a balcony. The man, dressed in aristocratic attire, holds his bow and arrow while the woman looks on with admiration. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of an idyllic countryside setting, where hunting was not only a sport but also a symbol of status among the elite. A partridge lies lifeless at their feet, evidence of their successful hunt. Two loyal dogs flank them, showcasing their skill and loyalty. Jean Michel Moreau the Younger's masterful engraving technique brings every detail to life - from the intricate costumes worn by the couple to the texture of feathers on the game bird. This artwork is truly a testament to his talent. As we gaze upon this image captured by Adolphe Giraudon in the late 19th century, we are transported into an era defined by leisurely pursuits and refined tastes. It serves as both an homage to French history during Louis XVI's reign and as an enduring celebration of human achievement in sportsmanship. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France; this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
