EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of paternal bliss in the late 18th century. Created by Philibert Louis Debucourt, this engraving titled "Les Plaisirs Paternels" beautifully portrays the joys experienced by fathers during that era. In this heartwarming scene, we witness a loving couple immersed in the pleasures of parenthood. The father tenderly cradles his infant child while his adoring wife looks on with affectionate eyes. Their home's garden serves as their idyllic backdrop, where they find solace and happiness amidst nature's embrace. The image is filled with delightful details - a playful cat frolicking nearby, a loyal dog faithfully watching over them, and books symbolizing knowledge passed down through generations. Holding hands tightly, they revel in each other's company as they engage in games and laughter. The father playfully mimics horseback riding for his little one ("horsey gee-gee"), evoking giggles from both child and mother alike. It is evident that these precious moments are treasured deeply by all three individuals involved. Debucourt masterfully captures not only the physical beauty but also the emotional connection between family members. This engraving immortalizes an era when love was expressed through simple gestures and genuine interactions. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, it reminds us that regardless of time or place, the joys
