EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed representation of King Henry IV (1553-1610), captured on a play card created by the talented Gustave Houbigant (1789-1862) in 19th century Paris. The play card, now housed at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this iconic monarch. In this exquisite engraving, King Henry IV is depicted with regal poise and an air of authority befitting his royal status. The intricate details bring to life his noble features and charismatic presence. His portrait is framed within a heart shape, symbolizing love and passion for both the game being played and perhaps even for the king himself. The play card itself serves as more than just a decorative piece; it represents an era when games were not only sources of entertainment but also reflections of societal values and historical figures. As players engaged with these cards during their leisure time, they became immersed in narratives that celebrated kingship and French heritage. This photograph captures not only the artistic mastery of Gustave Houbigant but also provides us with a window into history – reminding us of King Henry IV's significant role in shaping France's past. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty of fine art and its ability to transport us back in time to experience moments long gone by.
