EDITORS COMMENTS
This Snap Playing Card print from the 1910s, sourced from the extensive collection of Terry Parker at Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a courtier in full Elizabethan regalia, gracefully bowing before an unseen audience. The intricately detailed costume includes a ruff collar, a voluminous doublet, and hose, all adorned with elaborate embroidery and lace. The courtier's sword, slung over his shoulder, adds to his imposing yet polite demeanor. The Snap Playing Card game, a popular pastime during the Renaissance period, was often depicted in art and literature as a symbol of aristocratic leisure and refinement. The image of the courtier bowing emphasizes the polite and humble nature of the game, as well as the aristocratic elegance of its players. The vibrant colors of the print, with their rich reds, whites, blues, and yellows, add to the overall grandeur and opulence of the scene. The courtier's expression of respect and submission, combined with his striking attire, evoke a sense of nobility and grace that transcends time. This Snap Playing Card print is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right, but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of Elizabethan aristocracy and the customs and traditions of a bygone era.
