EDITORS COMMENTS
The Philosophers Game (litho) captures the essence of historical pastimes in 19th century England. This print, part of a private collection, showcases an illustration from Joseph Strutt's renowned book, The Sports and Pastimes of the People of England. Published in 1801 and later revised by J Charles Cox in 1890, this edition offers a delightful glimpse into traditional games enjoyed by English society. The image depicts a group of sedentary philosophers engrossed in their game. With elements reminiscent of chess and other strategic board games, players move pawns across tables adorned with intricate designs. Dice are rolled to determine fate as these intellectuals engage in friendly competition. Surrounding the main scene are various symbols representing different pastimes prevalent during that era - merelles, fox hunting, geese racing, and more. Each element adds depth to the rich history captured within this lithograph. This fine reproduction from Look and Learn is a testament to the enduring allure of parlour games throughout European culture. It not only provides entertainment but also serves as a window into Germanic traditions found in northern Germany. Whether you appreciate history or simply enjoy exploring classic games, 'The Philosophers Game' print invites you to immerse yourself in an enchanting world where intellect meets leisure.
