EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a leisurely evening in the early 1900s as two couples engage in a friendly game of cards. The scene is set around a dimly lit table, with the gentlemen dressed in formal attire, donning crisp shirts, waistcoats, and ties, while the ladies are elegantly dressed in long skirts and blouses, their hair neatly coiffed. The atmosphere is one of relaxation and camaraderie, as the couples laugh and chat, their eyes focused on the cards in their hands. The game of choice appears to be 'Playing the Dummy,' a popular trick-taking card game of the time, where partners work together to outwit their opponents. One gentleman acts as the 'dummy,' or 'stupid,' partner, following the lead of his partner, who holds the 'hand' or 'hand of cards.' The other couple mirrors this arrangement, with the woman taking the role of the dummy. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the social customs and pastimes of the early 1900s. The simple pleasure of an evening spent playing cards with friends and loved ones remains a timeless tradition, and this photograph serves as a charming reminder of the simple joys that have endured through the decades.
