EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving transports us back to the year 1857, capturing a heartwarming scene of family and friends gathered together on Thanksgiving Day. In the cozy confines of an American kitchen, a group of men, women, and children engage in a spirited game of Blindman's Buff. Amidst the fall season's warm hues that peek through the window, laughter fills the room as participants take turns blindfolding themselves while attempting to catch their fellow players. The joyous atmosphere is palpable as this cherished tradition brings generations closer together. A young girl stands at the center of attention; her blindfolded eyes revealing both excitement and anticipation. Her presence symbolizes innocence and youthful exuberance amidst this lively gathering.
