EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fashionable People Playing the Game of Ring Toss" or "La Bague Volante," is an exquisite illustration from the collection "Sports and Games of Skill" published in the renowned French periodical "Le Bon Genre" in 1818. The image, created as a lithograph by the skilled artist Henry Rene Allemagne, offers a fascinating glimpse into the pastime and entertainment of the fashionable society of the early 19th century. In the illustration, a group of elegantly dressed men and women are seen engaged in the game of ring toss, or "La Bague Volante," a popular recreational activity during the Regency era. The game, which involves tossing a ring or stick with a frisbee-like object attached to it, requires skill and precision, making it an enjoyable challenge for participants. The fashionable crowd, with their refined attire and animated expressions, exude an air of sophistication and enjoyment as they engage in this entertaining pastime. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of the women's gowns to the meticulously rendered accessories and props, serve to transport us back in time and offer a captivating window into the world of fashionable entertainment over two centuries ago. The lithograph, with its lively and engaging composition, is a testament to the enduring appeal of games and the joy they bring to people, regardless of the era or social standing.
