Inspired by Marshall Macmahon's colorful litho, this game transports them to France in 1923 during the Ruhr crisis. With their imaginations running wild, they playfully declare, 'Soignons la basse-cour. Je suis une brave poule de guerre' ('Let's protect the farmyard. I am a brave war chicken'). As if taken from Aristoteles Icones veterum aliquot ac recentium, these young warriors embody the spirit of ancient and modern heroes alike. In Anno MDCLXXXIII Insignium Romae templorum prospectus, we catch glimpses of vestiges of temples that once stood tall in Rome - just like these children who are building their own imaginary worlds through play. Through drawings and prints like Si je suis sage. . Les Evacues by artist Louis-Robert Antral, we witness their creativity and resilience shining through even amidst challenging times. So join them on this journey back in time as they channel their inner knights and embrace the power of imagination.
