1885 Blind Buff Groups Parties Sash
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a delightful moment from a children's party in the late 19th century, as they play a classic game of Blind Man's Buff. Dressed in their Sunday best, the children eagerly gather around, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The blindfolded 'blind man' stands in the center, his hand outstretched, ready to feel his way and tag the others. A sash or ribbon is tied around his eyes to represent his blindfold. Blind Man's Buff was a popular social game during this era, often played at parties and gatherings. The game required a good deal of agility and quick thinking on the part of the children, as they tried to avoid being tagged by the blind man. It was a fun and engaging way for children to interact and socialize with one another, providing hours of entertainment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when children's parties were filled with games and laughter. The children's innocent joy and the sense of community are palpable, making this a truly captivating image. This photograph is a wonderful reminder of the enduring appeal of games and the importance of play in the lives of children.
