EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph depicts an itinerant turner, or tourneuse, proudly showcasing her skillfully crafted wooden toys and games integrated into her intricately designed dress. The turner, dressed in a flowing gown adorned with an array of whimsical items, exudes a sense of joy and creativity. In her hands, she holds a head for a wig stand, a scythe, a trumpet, and various flutes, lace bobbins, a rolling pin, an egg, a goblet, a coffee mill, a carved hunting scene, a spinning wheel, bowls and skittles, a coffee tray, cups and saucers, a chequerboard, chair legs, and bars for a chair back. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the lithograph bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to an era where artisanal craftsmanship and skillful innovation were celebrated. This enchanting image is taken from Henry Rene Allemagne's 'Sports and Games of Skill' published by Librairie Hachette in Paris in 1903.
