1886 Chairs Families Kneeling Plays Properly Games
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1886, depicts an engaging family scene of a Victorian-era family playing a game of cards around their dining table. The warm and inviting atmosphere is evident as the entire family gathers together, immersed in the joy of this simple yet entertaining pastime. The girls in the photograph, dressed in their Sunday best, have even taken the extra step of kneeling on their chairs to ensure they have a clear view of the cards. The boys, equally invested, lean forward, their expressions focused and determined. Card games were a popular form of entertainment in the 19th century, providing an opportunity for families to bond and create lasting memories. The intricately patterned tablecloth and the elegant china set add to the sense of refinement and sophistication, making this a truly captivating social scene from a bygone era. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of families during the Victorian period, providing us with a valuable insight into their social customs and traditions. It serves as a reminder of the importance of family, connection, and the simple pleasures that bring people together, even in the most unexpected places – like around a card table.
