Featured on PDR in the collection The Games and Pleasures of Childhood (1657)

A selection of plates from Les Jeux et Plaisirs de l'Enfance (1657) - translating as "The games and pleasures of childhood" - a series of fifty engravings depicting children playing various games. Many of the games depicted are familiar to us today, such as tennis, darts, and "blind man's buff", but many are more unusual. One titled "Le jeu de pet en gueule" (literally translating as "The game of fart in the face") seems to involve just what it says on the tin, in addition to some secondary racing element. Another simply titled "Bataille" (battle) seems to be akin to one massive free-for-all punch-up.
