EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intrigue and excitement in an inn in Kruiningen. A retractor, fully engrossed in his game, confidently makes his number while being watched by a group of attentive spectators. Engraved after the drawing by Adolf Dillens, this image illustrates a journey to Zelande (Neerlande) in 1873 by Charles de Coster. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1874 and edited by Edouard Charton, this piece is part of the Selva Collection. The scene depicted here showcases the daily life and leisure activities of the Dutch people during that time period. The atmosphere is filled with curiosity as onlookers observe the game unfold. Perhaps there is an air of suspicion too, as cheating was not uncommon during these gambling sessions. The retractor's skillful moves are met with anticipation from both players and spectators alike. Adolf Alexander Dillens' intricate engraving beautifully captures the essence of this momentous occasion. This print offers us a glimpse into history, allowing us to witness a slice of Dutch culture from over a century ago. Leonard de Selva's photograph preserves this remarkable artwork for generations to come, reminding us of the timeless allure found within historical prints like these.
