EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical scene of young women engrossed in a game called tric trac, the ancestor of backgammon. The image is a miniature from the manuscript "Libro de los juegos" by Alphonse X the Wise or the Savant, dating back to the 13th century. Preserved in the Royal Library of the Monastery of El Escorial in Spain, this artwork offers us a glimpse into leisure activities enjoyed centuries ago. The composition depicts two elegantly dressed women sitting across from each other, their attention solely focused on the intricate board before them. With intense concentration and strategic moves, they engage in this ancient pastime that has transcended time and culture. The artist's skillful rendering transports us to an era where games were not merely entertainment but also served as social gatherings and intellectual exercises. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear their laughter and feel their competitive spirit. As we admire this exquisite piece from "Libro De Los Juegos" we are reminded of how human nature remains constant throughout history – our desire for connection, amusement, and friendly competition. This artwork serves as a testament to our shared heritage and reminds us that even centuries later, these timeless games continue to bring joy and camaraderie among people worldwide.
