EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Dangerous Sport" by Amedee Forestier depicts a thrilling scene that transports us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of young boys engaging in an exhilarating game outside a rustic tavern. With barrels strategically placed, they test their balance and agility while risking danger for the sake of amusement. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this playful moment to life, capturing the essence of childhood mischief and adventure. As we observe these fearless youngsters, one cannot help but be reminded of our own carefree days spent exploring the world around us. Forestier's skillful depiction not only highlights the physical risks involved in this dangerous sport but also hints at the social context of the time. The presence of beer barrels suggests that alcohol played a role in adult leisure activities during this era. This evocative artwork from Chatterbox magazine serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when children found joy in simple games and outdoor play. It reminds us to cherish those moments when imagination reigned supreme over technology, fostering friendships and creating lasting memories. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from private collection, allowing us to appreciate Forestier's talent and glimpse into history through art's lens.
