EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print titled "Salle des Jeux" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment in the French military's history. The image showcases a billiards room within the Ecole Speciale Militaire de Saint Cyr, an esteemed institution known for training officers for the French armed forces. The photograph, taken by an anonymous French photographer, beautifully depicts this space where military personnel would unwind and enjoy moments of leisure amidst their rigorous training. The vibrant colours bring life to the scene, highlighting the grandeur of the salle and its ornate decor. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we are transported into a world where camaraderie and relaxation coexist with discipline and duty. It serves as a reminder that even those dedicated to protecting their nation need moments of respite. This print was originally featured as an illustration in Album Militaire by B Poussot & Valadon around 1900. Preserved in a private collection, it now allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insight into French military culture during that era. With its rich symbolism encompassing military service, French heritage, and love for games like billiards, this print is sure to captivate both art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
