Etchings. The six prints belong to the same series, entitled "C'est-ici les différents jeux des petits Ppolissons de Paris" (Here are the different games played by the little brats of Paris), which illustrates the street games played by Parisian children. Each panel presents the title and explanation of the game in French: the first panel, which also presents the title of the series, has "Le sabot" (the clog), then we have: La sortie du college (leaving school), la toupie (the spinning top), la corde (the rope), la fossette ou jeux du noyaux (the hazelnut game), le coupe- tête (the little horse). They are the work of Augustin de Saint-Aubin, who belonged to a famous dynasty of French draughtsmen and engravers.
