Distant Mirrors, Or Two Wonderfully Talented Artists!



The Little Fire, Claudine Bouzonnet-Stella, The Games and Pleasures of Childhood, 1657.


The Battle


 Le Jeu De Pet En Guele, The Game Of Fart In Face.
We call this 'politics''


Le Volant, The Flying Toy


Le Brelan.  The hoop is a 'cerceau', I cannot find what brelan means.


Again, merelle will not translate, it is a game played on a divided square and probably is similar to Pente or Go.  A Cerf Volante is a kite, duh!


Le Bain, The Bath. 'Swimming' in English


La Glissoire, Sliding


Herself

Fart in face, indeed!
