EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Tirer la Jatte" is a traditional 16th century game that once captivated the crowds at festivals and fetes across Europe. This intriguing lithograph depicts the thrilling moment of the competition, with a knight or nobleman, dressed in full armor, perched atop a barrel. Two burly men, dressed in simple clothing, pull the barrel, steadying it as the rider prepares to hurl a lance at a basin filled with water. The basin, placed at a considerable distance, adds an element of challenge and unpredictability to the game. The scene exudes an air of excitement and anticipation. The rider's intense focus is evident as he takes aim, the lance held firmly in his gloved hands. The onlookers, gathered around the area, watch with bated breath, their faces filled with a mix of awe, amusement, and suspense. The barrel, with its rough texture and worn-out appearance, serves as a stark contrast to the polished armor and gleaming lance. This image is taken from "Sports and Games of Skill" (Sports et Jeux d'Adresse), a collection published by Librairie Hachette in Paris in 1903. The detailed engraving, created by Henry Rene Allemagne, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the entertainment, fun, and pastime that brought people together during the festive occasions of the 16th century. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of games of skill and the joy they bring to those who participate and witness them.
