EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print titled "The art of turn: the ball" we are transported back in time to witness a playful moment from history. The image captures King Henry III (1551-1589) and his companions engaging in a game of bilboquet, a popular French pastime. The engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, showcases the joy and camaraderie shared among these individuals. As we observe the scene, it is evident that leisure activities were not limited to commoners but also enjoyed by royalty. King Henry III's involvement in such games highlights his down-to-earth nature and willingness to connect with people from all walks of life. The street setting adds an element of authenticity to the scene, emphasizing that these moments took place amidst everyday life rather than within the confines of a palace. It is heartwarming to see how even during their free time, these historical figures found pleasure in simple pleasures like playing with toys. This enchanting engraving from Adolphe BITARD's "Les arts et metiers illustres" serves as a reminder that regardless of our status or position, we can always find delight in playfulness and human connection.
