EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the innocence and joy of childhood in the late 19th century. Titled "Children at Play" it is a fashion plate from the Allgemeine Moden-Zeitung, Leipzig, dating back to 1872. The coloured engraving showcases a scene set in an elegant interior nursery. In this delightful image, we see two children engrossed in their playtime activities. A young girl stands gracefully beside a rocking horse, her beautiful dress adorned with bows and accessorized with a stylish hat. She exudes grace and poise even at such a tender age. Beside her stands a boy, his attention captured by an exquisite doll dressed impeccably for the occasion. His attire reflects Victorian daywear, complete with boots that add to his dapper appearance. The room itself is filled with various toys that reflect the era's popular pastimes - bagatelle and bar billiards among them. This glimpse into their everyday lifestyle offers us insight into how children entertained themselves during this period. The artist behind this piece is Jules David, known for his ability to capture intricate details and emotions through his engravings. Preserved within private collections today, this print serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece that transports us back to simpler times when imagination ruled supreme.
