EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of camaraderie and intellectual engagement. The scene unfolds in Queenslaw, Australia, where a group of individuals gather around a crackling campfire. Lit by the warm glow of the flames, they are engrossed in an intriguing game of maps. The unknown artist skillfully depicts this unique form of entertainment that combines both leisure and education. Each participant is deeply absorbed in their role as they study intricate maps spread out on the ground before them. Their faces illuminated by flickering firelight reveal intense concentration and lively conversation. The setting itself adds to the charm of this image; surrounded by nature's beauty, these players find solace and inspiration under the starry Australian sky. It is evident that this card game transcends mere amusement; it serves as a means for connection, communication, and shared exploration. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this historic moment with his lens, freezing time for future generations to appreciate. Through his photography skills, he immortalizes not only the players but also their passion for knowledge amidst natural elements. As we gaze upon this print from Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France today, we can't help but be reminded of our own love for games that bring people together – bridging gaps across time and space through conversation and playfulness.
