EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1867, we are transported back in time to Coney Island beach, where a confidence man is seen performing his tricks. The hustle and bustle of the city can be felt in the background as people gather around the makeshift table to witness this game of deception. The confidence man, dressed sharply in American attire of the era, exudes charm and charisma as he skillfully manipulates three cards with his hands. His parasol provides shade from the summer sun while adding an air of sophistication to his act. Surrounded by intrigued onlookers, both men and women eagerly watch every move made by the hustler. Some may have fallen victim to similar hoaxes before or heard tales about these clever cheats roaming around North America during that time. This wood engraving captures a moment frozen in history when entertainment was found not only through amusement park rides but also through street games like Three-Card Monte. It serves as a reminder that even amidst leisurely activities at Coney Island beach, one must always be cautious and aware of those who seek to deceive. The Granger Collection has preserved this piece of American culture for us to admire today - a testament to our fascination with trickery and human nature's eternal struggle between trust and skepticism.
