EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a reconstitution in studio of bourgeois individuals playing a colin-maillard, a popular game in France during the year 1865. The scene depicts members of the bourgeoisie class engaging in leisurely activities, showcasing their social status and refined lifestyle.
The image showcases a group of elegantly dressed men and women, including a young girl, participating in the traditional game with enthusiasm and grace. The players are blindfolded as they try to catch each other while navigating through the room, highlighting both skill and clumsiness.
Through this snapshot of 19th-century French society, we get a glimpse into the leisure habits and social interactions of the upper class. The carefully staged setting and attention to detail bring to life the atmosphere of that era, capturing moments of joy and camaraderie among family members.
The composition is rich in symbolism, reflecting on themes such as human connection, youthfulness, and societal norms. The playful nature of the game juxtaposed with the formal attire worn by the participants adds depth to our understanding of their world.
Overall, this print serves as a window into history, inviting us to reflect on the meaning behind seemingly simple pastimes within different cultural contexts.
