EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is an 1826 lithograph by Jean-Henri Marlet, titled "Boys racing to grab a victory wreath from a young girl," taken from the collection "Sports and Games of Skill" (Sports et Jeux d'Adresse) published by Librairie Hachette in Paris in 1903. The illustration showcases the excitement and intensity of a youthful sprint race, where the boys, eager to claim the prize, race towards a young girl who holds a victory wreath or crown aloft. The wreath, symbolizing triumph and achievement, is a coveted reward for the winner of the race. The boys' determined expressions and outstretched arms convey their unwavering desire to be the first to reach the young girl and claim the prestigious prize. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the folds in the girls' dress to the individual hairs on the boys' heads, add to the overall charm and allure of this vintage illustration. This enchanting image, with its timeless appeal, continues to captivate viewers and evoke the spirit of friendly competition and the joy of achievement.
