EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured lithograph from the early 20th century, a group of elegant people engage in the delightful pastime of playing Chinese yo-yo (diabolo) and cup and ball (bilboquet) in a serene garden setting. The image, titled "Sports et Jeux d'Adresse" (Sports and Games of Skill), is an exquisite work taken from Henry René Allemagne's comprehensive collection published by Librairie Hachette in Paris in 1903. The scene is filled with an air of leisure and amusement, as the refined individuals demonstrate their dexterity and coordination in manipulating the diabolo and bilboquet. The diabolo, also known as the Chinese yo-yo, consists of two discs connected by an axle, which is spun and manipulated in mid-air using a string. The bilboquet, or cup and ball game, involves tossing a small ball into a stationary cup, which is then covered with the hand to keep the ball inside. A charming detail of the illustration is the presence of a playful dog, who seems to be enjoying the entertainment provided by the group. The handcoloured lithograph, produced by Langlume, showcases the intricate details of the participants' clothing and the lush garden surroundings, transporting us back in time to an era of grace and refinement. This image serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of simple yet engaging activities that bring people together and provide hours of fun and enjoyment.
