Fashionable people playing the game of the candlestick base

Fashionable people playing the parlour game of the candlestick base. For a forfeit, one fool kisses a candlestick base which drips hot wax on a woman on a sofa. While another man holds a candlestick over a girl's head, thus transforming her into a candlestick base so that he can kiss her. Handcoloured engraving by Gatine from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817. Fashionable people playing the parlour game of the candlestick base.
