EDITORS COMMENTS
"This 18th century print depicts four young boys intently engaged in a game of Le Cheval Fondu, a popular pastime in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, also known as Itchy or Warney in the United Kingdom. The game, which translates to 'melted horse' in French, involved players attempting to pull a wooden horse's tail without getting their own hands wet in the melted tallow or wax that coated it. The boys in this print appear to be deeply focused on their game, with one boy reaching out to grasp the horse's tail while the others seem poised to offer encouragement or taunts. The horse, with its intricately carved features and realistic details, appears to be a prized possession, likely passed down through generations. The print, which dates back to the 18th century, offers a glimpse into the pastimes and traditions of the time. It also highlights the importance of games and play in the lives of children, a universal experience that transcends time and culture. The print is a testament to the rich history of games and pastimes that have shaped our cultural heritage. It invites us to reflect on the simple joys of childhood and the enduring appeal of games that bring people together, even as the world around us continues to change." Mary Evans Picture Library's extensive collection of historical prints offers a wealth of information and insights into various aspects of history, from art and culture to social history and daily life. This particular print, with its charming depiction of a simple yet engaging game, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of games or the social history of the 18th century.
