EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Jean-Henri Marlet, titled "Boys playing the game of Cheval Fondu, or Leap Frog," is taken from the collection "Sports and Games of Skill" published by Henry Rene Allemagne in Paris in 1903. The image showcases a lively scene of boys engaged in a classic childhood pastime, leaping over each other in a playful imitation of a horse and rider. The boys' expressions are filled with excitement and joy, as they take turns being the rider and the horse. The intricately detailed illustration, originally published in the book "Le Bon Genie" in 1826, was later reproduced as a lithograph, preserving the original artist's vision for generations to come. The image captures the essence of horseplay and the spirit of fun and entertainment that comes with the simple pleasures of childhood. The boys' pantomime of the horse and rider game, Cheval Fondu, is a timeless tradition that continues to be enjoyed by children around the world, reminding us of the importance of play and the bonds formed through shared experiences.
