EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1893 takes us back to a time when card games were crafted by hand, using old methods of decoupage. The image showcases the intricate process of making playing cards, highlighting the skilled craftsmanship involved in their production. In this scene, we see a laborer diligently working in an atelier or factory setting. Surrounded by various instruments and tools of the trade, he carefully cuts out delicate designs from paper and applies them onto the surface of each card. With precision and expertise, he brings these cards to life through his meticulous work. The engraving offers a glimpse into the world of manufacturing technology during that era, where human hands played an essential role in creating entertainment for countless players. It reminds us of the artistry behind every deck of cards used for leisurely games or competitive play. Preserved in a private collection today, this historical print captures not only the essence of traditional card-making but also pays homage to those anonymous craftsmen who dedicated themselves to perfecting their metier. As we admire this piece by Stefano Bianchetti, we are reminded that even though modern printing techniques have revolutionized mass production today, there is still something special about handmade creations that evoke nostalgia and appreciation for our pastimes.
