This photograph, showing a game of marbles (billes), probably belongs to the series showing childhood amusements, which Disderi took at the Institution de l'Assomption at Nîmes in 1853. Works by Disderi were shown at the Paris Exposition of 1855, which Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited in August of that year.
