EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 18th century depicts a lively scene of peasants eagerly ducking for apples in a barrel. The image, created by an unknown English School artist, captures the playful and competitive nature of this popular game during that era. In the print, we see two competitors with their heads submerged in the barrel while another man pushes down on them, adding an element of humor to the scene. This satirical drawing reflects both the leisurely activities enjoyed by society at that time and the rivalry among individuals seeking to win this entertaining game. The lithograph is part of Henry Rene d'Allemagne's "Recreations et Passe-Temps" collection published in Paris in 1906. It showcases various games and pastimes from different periods, providing a glimpse into historical recreational activities. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to this artwork, emphasizing its connection to both 18th-century England and early 20th-century Europe. The presence of water as one of the four elements further enhances its symbolism and evokes feelings of refreshment and joy. Overall, this lithograph offers us a fascinating insight into peasant life during the 18th century while also highlighting how leisure activities played an important role within society. Its detailed depiction invites viewers to imagine themselves participating in this amusing game alongside these spirited peasants.
