EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a German ball game played with crossed arms, as depicted in the engraving from "What are we playing?" by E. Weber with watercolour drawings by Robert Salles. Published in 1920 by Librairie Garnier Freres in Paris, this book offers an extensive exploration of over 30 games and their variations across 68 pages. The dimensions of the print measure at 30.5x23cm and it belongs to a private collection curated by Robert Salles himself. The image captures the essence of childhood joy and camaraderie, set against a picturesque garden backdrop. A child is seen engrossed in play, fully immersed in the game while showcasing their dexterity and agility with crossed arms. The vibrant colors used in Robert Salles' watercolor drawings bring life to this enchanting illustration from both the 19th and 20th centuries. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also holds historical significance as it provides insight into traditional games enjoyed during that era. It reminds us of simpler times when outdoor activities were cherished, fostering friendships and creating lasting memories.
