EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 16th century French ball games, showcasing two popular pastimes of the era: Fossette and Le jeu de Croce. In a time when outdoor activities were cherished for their simplicity and entertainment value, these historical games provided hours of enjoyment for players and spectators alike.
Fossette, a game that involved throwing a small ball through a hoop or target, required precision and skill to master. Meanwhile, Le jeu de Croce resembled modern-day hockey with its fast-paced action and competitive spirit. Both games offered a glimpse into the sporting culture of old France, where camaraderie and friendly competition reigned supreme.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an age where leisure activities were not just about exercise but also about socializing and bonding with others. The intricate details captured in this print serve as a reminder of the rich history behind these traditional French ball games.
Mary Evans Picture Library has once again brought to life a piece of our collective past through this stunning photograph. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of sports throughout the centuries, reminding us that even in ancient times, people found joy in coming together to play games and have fun.
