The Nose Game - Inquisitive Nose B9: A Captivating Moment from the Roaring Twenties Step back in time to the 1920s and join the lively scene of The Nose Game, as depicted in this intriguing photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. This image, taken in 1927, showcases a group of men intently engaged in a spirited round of this unique card game. The Nose Game, also known as 'Nose' or 'Pointed Nose,' was a popular pastime during the 1920s, particularly among horse racing enthusiasts. The objective of the game was to correctly identify the 'nose' or the winning margin between two horses in a race. Players used a set of cards, each featuring the image of a horse's head with a different length of 'nose' or winning margin indicated. In this photograph, we see a man, possibly the jockey or the racecaller, pointing to the card with the winning 'nose' while his fellow players, dressed in jockeys' caps and colourful racing silks, lean in for a closer look. The intensity on their faces speaks volumes about the excitement and spirit of enquiry that this game elicited. The Nose Game was not just a simple pastime but a true test of knowledge and skill. It required a deep understanding of horse racing and the ability to read the form, making it a favorite among racing aficionados. This photograph, with its lively atmosphere and intriguing subject matter, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the unique culture of horse racing during the Roaring Twenties.
