Study Session: Playing, Learning, Flirting

Explore the relationship between learning, flirting and play in France during the 18th century.

By focusing on works of printed ephemera including board games, prints, trade cards and books, this session will allow us to explore the everyday experiences of people during this period by looking at aspects of the Waddesdon collection which are rarely on display.

Through these rare and delightful works of printed ephemera and books we can witness the manifestations of these new approaches to learning as well as the flirtations which occupied the collective imagination.

Includes House and Garden admission.
