EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage print titled "Odd or Even - Pair ou Impair" we are transported to a countryside village during the water gathering chore. Taken from the book "Afternoon Tea: Rhymes for Children" published by Frederick Warne & Co in London around 1880, this illustration captures a delightful children's game. The scene depicts a group of children gathered near a quaint country village, engaged in an exciting game of odd or even. The kids stand in anticipation, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity as they await the outcome of their playful competition. With original illustrations by John George Sowerby and Henry Hetherington Emmerson, this artwork perfectly encapsulates the innocence and joy of childhood. This image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when games were played outdoors among friends amidst idyllic landscapes. It serves as a reminder that even mundane tasks like fetching water can be transformed into moments of fun and camaraderie. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph taken by Jean Duvallon offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and simplicity found in children's rhymes and illustrations from over a century ago.
