EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense excitement and anticipation in the game of "The Hot Boiler". Based on an original artwork by Bosio from the late 18th century, this image transports us back to a time when card games were a popular form of entertainment. The players are fully engrossed in their game, their faces reflecting both concentration and eagerness. The atmosphere is charged with tension as they strategize and make calculated moves. Each player's hand is carefully hidden, adding an air of mystery to the proceedings. "The Hot Boiler" was undoubtedly a thrilling gambling game that kept its participants on edge. It was likely played for high stakes, as evidenced by the serious expressions on the players' faces. The allure of winning or losing fortunes would have made this game all-consuming for those involved. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully captures every detail of this historical scene. The chromolithography technique used adds depth and vibrancy to each element within the frame, enhancing our appreciation for both the artistry and drama depicted here. As we gaze upon this intriguing image, we can't help but be transported into a world where card games held immense power over people's emotions and livelihoods. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, human nature remains unchanged – always seeking thrill and fortune through games of chance.
