EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Solitaire" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when scientific knowledge was expanding rapidly. Created by an unknown European School artist, this intricate illustration is part of a private collection. The scene depicted in this print is from Gaston Tissandier's book "Popular Scientific Recreations" published in 1885. The Solitaire game, known for its solitary nature and strategic gameplay, serves as the subject matter here. As we gaze at the image, we are transported to a world where intellectual pursuits were highly valued. The fine details of the engraving showcase the skill of the anonymous engraver who meticulously brought this scene to life. Every line and curve adds depth and texture to each element within the composition. As we admire this historical artwork, it reminds us of how far our understanding of science has come since then. It also highlights the importance placed on general knowledge during that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder platform. This print offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing both artistic talent and scientific curiosity from centuries past.
