EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1908, titled "Game of flying kite (kite)" captures the essence of childhood joy and leisure. The image showcases a young child engrossed in the timeless activity of flying a kite. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this scene to life, evoking nostalgia for simpler times. The print is part of the Alphabet des recreations series by Marie de Grandmaison, featured in Emile Guerin's editorship in Paris. This particular illustration can be found on page 48 of the book, which highlights various recreational activities for children. The composition beautifully portrays the innocence and wonderment associated with youth. It transports us back to an era when playing outdoors was a cherished pastime rather than a rarity. The inclusion of an alphabet motif adds an educational element to this delightful game. As we admire this artwork captured by Duvallon, we are reminded of the importance of playfulness and imagination in our lives. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, traditional games like flying kites hold their own charm and continue to captivate young minds. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate today. Let it serve as a gentle reminder that sometimes all we need is a simple toy like a kite and some open space to experience pure joy and freedom.
