Fashionable people at a party play the game of Guess the kisser, a parlour game where a blindfolded girl has to guess who is kissing her on the cheek. "Of all the forfeits, kisses are the lowest, it seems to me the most scary for the youth who play these parlour games." Handcoloured engraving by Gatine after an illustration by Dutailly from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817.
