EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the genteel world of 18th century high society with this image of a game of Quadrille being played by four well-dressed individuals. Quadrille, a popular card game of the era, was a variation of the more common game of partnership whist. In this version, the 8s, 9s, and 10s were omitted from the pack, adding an extra layer of complexity and challenge to the game. The historical significance of Quadrille lies in its association with the aristocracy and the refined social gatherings of the time. The game was often played during formal occasions, providing an opportunity for the upper class to display their wealth, status, and sophistication. The elegant attire of the players in this photograph further emphasizes the genteel nature of the game and the era in which it was popular. The Quadrille pack, a rare and valuable historical artifact, was made up of 32 cards, each with a unique design. The cards were intricately decorated with elaborate patterns, making them a prized possession among the wealthy elite. The game was typically played with four players in two partnerships, with each partnership trying to take as many tricks as possible. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of card games and the social customs of the 18th century. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Quadrille and the fascination that historical games continue to hold for us today.
