EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the joy and energy of roller skating in a bygone era. Taken from the engraving featured in "What are we playing?" by E. Weber, with watercolour drawings by Robert Salles, this artwork is a testament to the timeless appeal of childhood games. Published in 1920 by Librairie Garnier Freres in Paris, this book was a treasure trove for children seeking entertainment and adventure. With 68 pages dedicated to explaining the rules of over 30 games and their variations, it provided endless possibilities for play. In this particular image, we see a young child gracefully gliding on roller skates amidst an idyllic garden setting. The vibrant colors and intricate details brought to life through Robert Salles' illustrations add depth and charm to the scene. The child's delight is palpable as they navigate their way around furniture and chairs scattered across the landscape. Their youthful exuberance is contagious, reminding us of simpler times when outdoor activities were cherished above all else. This photograph not only celebrates the artistry of Salles but also serves as a nostalgic reminder of carefree days spent outdoors engaging in playful pursuits. It transports us back to an era where imagination reigned supreme and roller skating was both thrilling and liberating. Preserved within private collections today, this enchanting piece continues to evoke feelings of nostalgia while showcasing the enduring beauty found within artistic expressions from years gone by.
