EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Queen of Hearts, 1925" takes us back to the vibrant and glamorous era of the 1920s. The image showcases a beautifully illustrated playing card featuring the iconic Queen of Hearts from De La Rue & Cos Pneumatic Playing Cards collection. The rich red color palette instantly catches our attention, symbolizing passion, love, and excitement - all elements associated with gambling and games of chance. The intricate details on the card highlight its artistic value, making it a true collector's item. As we delve into this piece of art, we are reminded of classic literature such as Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" where the Queen of Hearts played a prominent role as an authoritative yet unpredictable character. This connection adds another layer to our appreciation for this print. During the twenties, playing cards were not only used for entertainment but also became symbols representing leisurely pastimes enjoyed by people across social classes. They served as a means to escape reality and indulge in moments filled with anticipation and thrill. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now admire this snapshot from history that encapsulates both cultural significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder that even simple objects like playing cards have their place in shaping our collective memory of bygone eras.
