EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Kissing Game" takes us back to the early nineteenth century, immersing us in a world of playful romance and social intrigue. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this color engraving captures a moment of lightheartedness and intimacy. Intriguingly naughty yet delightfully innocent, this parlour game known as "Le Baiser Devine" invites participants to engage in a titillating pastime. Dressed in regency costumes, both male and female figures are seen eagerly participating in this risqué activity. The image transports us into an era where society's rules were more rigidly defined, making such displays of affection all the more exciting. It offers a glimpse into the romantic lifestyle of the time when kisses held immense significance and were not taken lightly. As we observe these characters playing their kissing game with great enthusiasm, we can't help but feel drawn into their world of fun and laughter. The artist skillfully captures their expressions, revealing anticipation and joy as they give or receive a kiss. This enchanting engraving serves as a window into 19th-century social history while also reminding us that love has always been an essential part of human existence. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, it is no wonder that this piece continues to captivate viewers even centuries later.
