EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the history of France in the Middle Ages. Taken from the book "Histoire de France learned by image and direct observation" this print showcases a unique game played by the people in the 13th century. In this intriguing scene, we see a group of men blindfolded with eye bands, eagerly participating in an unusual activity. Armed with sticks, they are attempting to hit a pig that is running around them. This lively game reflects the leisurely pursuits of French society during that time period. The illustration was created by Ferdinand Raffin for the book published in 1923. Raffin's detailed engraving brings to life this fascinating glimpse into medieval French culture. The composition beautifully captures both the excitement and camaraderie among these participants. The monochromatic tones add depth and texture to the image, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. Although lacking color, this print exudes vibrancy through its dynamic depiction of movement and action. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to an era where games like these provided entertainment for communities across France. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors found joy amidst their daily lives, offering us valuable insights into our rich cultural heritage.
