EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Baiser a la Capucine," also known as the French kissing game, is an intriguing and romantic pastime that dates back to the early 19th century. This charming print, circa 1810, from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of this popular Regency-era game. The image depicts two elegantly dressed individuals, a man and a woman, engaged in a playful and intimate moment. The woman, with her hand delicately placed on her partner's chest, leans in for a kiss, while he closes his eyes in anticipation. The game's name, "Capucine," refers to the Capuchin monkey, whose distinctive nose was mimicked in the game by players touching their partner's nose with their own before the kiss. The setting of the print is equally captivating, with the couple seated in front of an ornate and elegant Regency-style fireplace, surrounded by richly furnished walls adorned with tapestries and paintings. The room is filled with the warm glow of candles, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere. This print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the social customs and traditions of the time. It is a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of love and the playful ways in which it has been expressed throughout history. Whether displayed in a home, library, or museum, this print is sure to captivate and delight all who see it. The intricate details of the print, from the intricately designed furniture to the exquisite clothing of the participants, transport us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment of romance and connection from a bygone era.
