EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting moment of Florence Upton engrossed in a unique and rhythmic game of Weg Drumming with a deck of playing cards. Dating back to the early 1900s, this intriguing pastime offered an alternative form of entertainment for those seeking a diversion from the monotony of daily life. Florence, with an expression of intense focus, skillfully manipulates the cards in her hands, transforming them into makeshift drumsticks. The cards are expertly struck against the wooden surface of the table, creating a series of crisp, rhythmic beats that resonate through the room. The wooden drum, positioned in front of her, is adorned with intricate carvings and serves as the perfect companion to her impromptu percussion instruments. The use of matchsticks as an additional tool adds an element of complexity and versatility to the game. Each matchstick is skillfully placed on the table, ready to be struck in perfect harmony with the cards. The combination of the cards, matchsticks, and the wooden drum creates a symphony of sounds, evoking a sense of excitement and wonder. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of recreational activities during the 1900s, showcasing the creativity and resourcefulness of individuals in generating entertainment. Florence Upton's captivating performance of Weg Drumming serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures that can be derived from the most unexpected sources.
