EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of playing cards believed to date back to the 16th century. Created by E Hauger in 1849, this illustration features playing cards from the game of Piquet, which some claim originated in France during the reign of King Charles VII. However, there are suggestions that it may have been introduced from Spain. The image is based on a manuscript housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris. Taken from Volume 2 of "Le Moyen Age Et La Renaissance" (The Middle Ages and the Renaissance), edited by Paul Lacroix with artistic direction by Ferdinand Sere, this chromolithograph beautifully captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of these historic cards. The artwork depicts various royal figures including kings, queens, knights, and ladies. It is fascinating to observe how card games have transcended time and continue to be enjoyed as a pastime even centuries later. This print offers us a glimpse into both medieval history and nineteenth-century artistry through its meticulous representation. As we admire this remarkable piece created by E Hauger under the supervision of Ferdinand Sere for "Le Moyen Age Et La Renaissance" we can appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance as an artifact from an era long gone.
