Merveilleuses playing the game of Hot Hands

Merveilleuses in flimsy muslin dresses play the game of Hot Hands. One girl buries her head in another's lap, and has to guess which friend slaps her arm. Two women have the fashionable short hairstyle called the Victim or Martyr. Illustration by Dominique Bosio from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, 1817. Le Main-Chaude. Handcoloured lithograph from Henry Rene d'Allemagne's Recreations et Passe-Temps, Games and Pastimes, Hachette, Paris, 1906
