EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of French playing cards from the 15th century. The chromolitho technique used in this artwork beautifully captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of these historical cards. These playing cards were created during the reign of King Charles VII, offering a glimpse into the leisurely activities enjoyed by people during that era. Each card is adorned with exquisite diamond patterns, symbolizing wealth and luxury. The use of lapis lazuli gemstones further adds to their opulence. The image not only provides a visual representation of these ancient cards but also offers insights into European culture and entertainment at that time. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people found joy in recreational activities during their spare time. This particular print is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance" by Paul Lacroix and Ferdinand Sere, published in Paris between 1848-1851. Its inclusion in this publication demonstrates its significance as an artifact from the past. As we admire this piece, we are transported back to the 15th century, where France played a prominent role in shaping European history. This artwork serves as both an educational tool for understanding our cultural heritage and a testament to human creativity throughout different periods of time.
