EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'The Nose Game - Commercial Nose E7' by an unidentified photographer, hails from the vibrant and intriguing decade of the 1920s. The photograph showcases an engaging scene of a man intently focused on a card game, specifically a nose game, surrounded by an eclectic assortment of objects. The man, dressed in a smart peaked cap and livery uniform, exudes an air of shrewdness and concentration. His piercing gaze is fixed on the table before him, where a deck of cards is spread out, and a single card, the 'Commercial Nose E7,' is face up. The other players, also dressed in uniforms, are poised, their expressions a mix of intense focus and anticipation. The background of the photograph is adorned with a tartan rug, adding a touch of warmth and homeliness to the scene. The table is set with an array of buttons, suggesting that this game may have been a popular pastime among men, perhaps even as a form of entertainment during breaks from work. The nose game, also known as 'Sniff,' is a card game where players bet on the highest-ranking nose card in their hand. The game's name derives from the fact that the noses on the cards are often exaggerated, making them easily distinguishable. This photograph captures the essence of the game, with its focus on strategy, skill, and the camaraderie of the players. The 1920s were a time of innovation, creativity, and social change, and this photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of card games and the men who played them.
