The Nose Game - Commercial Nose E1: A 1920s Card Game Denoting Shrewdness and Cunning This intriguing photograph captures a moment from a 1927 card game session, featuring the popular game known as 'The Nose.' The players, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, are intently focused on their cards, each with a serious expression and a peaked cap perched on their heads. The grey-haired gentleman in the foreground, wearing a coat and a moustache, leans forward with a confident air, suggesting his shrewdness and cunning in the game. The Nose Game, also known as 'Nose, or Ace of Noses,' is a trick-taking card game that originated in France in the late 18th century. The objective of the game is to collect sets of cards with the same rank or the same suit, with the 'Nose' card, or the Ace of Noses, being the most valuable card in the game. The game gained popularity in the United States during the 1920s, and was often played in social circles and casinos. The setting of this photograph, with its elegant decor and the presence of a chauffeur-driven car in the background, suggests that the game is being played in a wealthy and sophisticated environment. The players' attire and demeanor further emphasize the game's reputation as a pastime for the elite and the shrewd. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the culture and social customs of the 1920s. The Nose Game, with its rich history and enduring popularity, continues to be a favorite among card game enthusiasts, and this photograph serves as a reminder of its storied past and the allure of the game.
