EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of Lyonnese Playing Cards from the fifteenth century, beautifully captured by artist Jean de Dale. Published in The Burlington Magazine for Connoisseurs in 1903, this image transports us back to an era where card games were a popular pastime. The intricate details of each card are brought to life through the monochrome medium, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into their creation. The deck features various characters and symbols that would have entertained players during their leisure time centuries ago. The attire worn by these figures reflects the fashion trends of fifteenth-century France, providing valuable insights into the clothing styles of that period. It is fascinating to observe how fashion has evolved over time. As we examine this print, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage embedded within French history. These playing cards not only served as a means of entertainment but also offer glimpses into social dynamics and customs prevalent during the fifteenth century. Thanks to The Burlington Magazine's dedication to preserving such artistic treasures, we can now admire this exquisite piece from our own time. This photograph serves as a reminder of how art transcends generations and continues to captivate audiences even after centuries have passed.
