EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a humorous scene from 19th-century Parisian society. Depicting a group of couples engaged in a pool game, the cartoon showcases the playful banter and salacious vocabulary that often accompanied such gatherings. In this particular moment, one gentleman suggests calling it a "round" instead of using more explicit language. His cousin playfully responds, implying an understanding of their hidden intentions. The engraving is taken from the renowned "Petity Journal pour Rire" in 1879, showcasing its popularity among French readers during that time. The artist behind this intriguing piece remains anonymous but has skillfully captured the essence of French culture and social dynamics through caricature. Stefano Bianchetti's careful restoration brings out every detail, allowing viewers to appreciate both the artistry and historical context. Through this print, we catch a glimpse into not only the leisurely activities enjoyed by Parisian couples but also their witty conversations filled with double entendres. It serves as a reminder that even in conservative societies like France during this era, there was room for humor and flirtation within strict societal boundaries. This fascinating artwork offers us an opportunity to reflect on how language and behavior have evolved over time while providing insight into past cultural norms surrounding romance and entertainment.
