EDITORS COMMENTS
Four Queens on a Jack: An Unusual Ride through Time (circa 1905) This charming and whimsical photograph captures the playful spirit of four women as they ride a donkey, each dressed as a queen, with one woman seated on the donkey's 'jack' or backbone. The image, titled "Four Queens on a Jack," is an amusing take on the traditional card game metaphor of having four queens of the same suit in a hand, often referred to as a 'full house.' The identical costumes of the women, complete with elaborate dresses, crowns, and scepters, add to the surreal and unexpected nature of the scene. Their expressions of delight and enjoyment convey a sense of humor and camaraderie, making this photograph a delight to behold. The origins of this photograph are unclear, but it is believed to date back to the early 1900s. The use of props and costumes suggests that it may have been staged for amusement, perhaps as a form of entertainment for a private gathering or social event. Despite its playful and lighthearted appearance, this photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the fashion and social customs of the time. It is a reminder that even in the most ordinary moments, there is always room for a touch of the unusual and unexpected. The bizarre and zany nature of this image makes it a fascinating addition to any collection of historical photographs, and a conversation starter for anyone interested in the history and culture of the early 20th century.
