EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled 'Men Playing Toss and Pitch' hails from the Victorian era, around the turn of the 20th century. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection available at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of elegance and intrigue. The photograph depicts a lively scene of men engrossed in a game of Toss and Pitch, a popular gambling pastime of the time. The game, also known as 'Hazard' or 'Casino,' involves rolling dice and betting on the outcome. The men, dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, are seen intently focused on the game, their expressions a mix of concentration, excitement, and anticipation. The setting of the photograph is dimly lit, with a single lantern casting an amber glow over the scene. The men's faces are illuminated by the light, while the background remains shrouded in shadow, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the image. The rough-hewn table, worn by the passage of time and countless games, serves as a reminder of the passage of time and the enduring appeal of this simple pastime. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of Victorian-era gambling and camaraderie. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures and shared experiences that have endured through the ages, and a testament to the power of a single image to transport us back in time.
