EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "La Bouillotte, c. 1810" takes us back to the 19th century French society, offering a glimpse into their leisurely pastimes. The image showcases an intimate interior scene where a group of men and women indulge in the popular card game of Bouillotte. The room is filled with anticipation as players gather around a table covered in green baize cloth, engrossed in the strategic gameplay. The artist skillfully captures the animated expressions on their faces, revealing both excitement and concentration. In this male-dominated setting, women are not mere spectators but active participants in the game. They challenge societal norms by engaging confidently alongside their male counterparts. This portrayal highlights how pastimes like gambling provided an opportunity for social interaction and equality among genders during that era. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the delicate brushstrokes used to hand-colour each figure's clothing to the intricate engravings adorning the walls. It transports us back to a time when such games were cherished moments of respite from daily routines. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can preserve history and offer insights into cultural practices long gone by.
