EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Card shooters - in 'Le Bon genre', no. 6" takes us back to the vibrant world of 19th-century card games. Created by the French School, this artwork showcases a group of women engrossed in a game of cards, their expressions filled with anticipation and excitement. The intricate details and vivid colors bring life to this scene, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The players' elegant attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, adding an extra layer of charm to the composition. As we delve into this print, we are transported into a realm where predictions and chance intertwine. Cardomancy, or divination through playing cards, was popular during this period, making it alluring for those seeking answers from beyond. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skillfully captures every nuance and texture present in this engraving. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the artistry but also gain insight into how people engaged in leisure activities during that time. This enchanting image serves as a reminder that despite being separated by centuries from these card shooters, our fascination with games and predictions remains timeless. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with chance and reminds us that sometimes it is within these moments of play that we find joy and connection with others.
