A Fun Race - A Curious Competition in Paris
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment of joy and excitement during a unique race held on the streets of Paris. The image showcases two wings of a large crowd eagerly participating in this amusing event with candid good humor. The competition, which took place between specialist coopers, involved directing barrels along a two-kilometer route using only the palms of their hands. As the race progressed, it became more challenging as participants were required to use only one hand and maneuver two barrels simultaneously. This unconventional spectacle drew the attention and curiosity of both locals and tourists alike. The vibrant atmosphere depicted in this lithograph reflects the rich tradition and spirit of French culture. It portrays not just a mere game but also an embodiment of leisurely enjoyment that brings people together from all walks of life. The crowded streets serve as witness to this fascinating display, where barriers are set up to create an exciting track for these barrel racers. Amidst cheers from the enthusiastic crowd, competitors roll wooden beer barrels with skillful precision, showcasing their determination to win. Beltrame Achille's illustration beautifully captures this cherished tradition that has been passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder that amidst our busy lives, we should always make time for lighthearted entertainment and embrace moments filled with laughter and camaraderie.
