EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The game of biribi or beauty: the delights of the Royal Palace" takes us back to the late 18th century, during the revolutionary era in France. The image is based on a satirical print that beautifully combines anthropomorphism and caricature to depict a scene from the French Revolution. In this intriguing engraving, we are transported into the opulent halls of the Royal Palace in Paris. The artist skillfully personifies various elements within this setting, creating an amusing and thought-provoking tableau. Each character represents a different aspect of society at that time, reflecting both their roles and their flaws. As we observe this playful scene, it becomes apparent that there is more than just a simple game being played here. It symbolizes power struggles, political intrigue, and societal tensions prevalent during this tumultuous period in history. Through clever visual storytelling, Leonard de Selva captures not only the essence of revolution but also highlights human nature's inherent desire for amusement amidst chaos. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in French history while showcasing de Selva's artistic talent as he brings these characters to life through his lens. It serves as a reminder that even during times of great upheaval and change, people still seek moments of joy and entertainment – even if it means finding solace within satirical games like biribi or beauty.
