EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1717, immersing us in a scene of leisure and recreation. The focus is on a distinguished gentleman engrossed in the game of jeu de mail, also known as pele mele or pall mall. This popular pastime among noblemen during that era involved using mallets to hit wooden balls through hoops. The engraved frontispiece from Nouvelles Regles pour le Jeu de Mail, published in Paris, captures the essence of this elegant sport. The attention to detail in the engraving brings out the beauty and sophistication of this nobleman's daily life activity. The image transports us to a time when croquet-like games were enjoyed by men from all walks of life. It offers a glimpse into an era where socializing and friendly competition took center stage amidst lush green landscapes. As we admire this piece from The Granger Collection, New York, we are reminded of how recreational activities have evolved over centuries but continue to provide joy and entertainment for individuals across generations. This particular snapshot allows us to appreciate not only the skill and precision required for jeu de mail but also its significance as an integral part of historical daily life. In conclusion, this print serves as both a visual delight and a window into history - showcasing the elegance and charm associated with pall mall in 1717 Paris.
