EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman with playing cards and the nine of spades" transports us back to the early 20th century, where a mysterious woman engages in a game of cards. The color litho beautifully captures her elegance and poise as she holds up the nine of spades, an intriguing choice that leaves us wondering about her strategy. Dressed in a fashionable ensemble of the time, her attire exudes sophistication. She wears a stylish dress or trouser suit, perhaps even a three-piece suit, which was considered quite daring for women during this era. Her smart outfit reflects both confidence and independence. The portrait showcases not only the woman's beauty but also her skillful hand at playing cards. We can almost feel the anticipation in the air as she contemplates her next move. The deck of cards on display hints at hours spent honing her card-playing abilities. This postcard-like image provides insight into popular parlour games enjoyed by men and women alike during this period. It serves as a reminder that games were not just recreational activities but also social occasions for people to gather and engage with one another. As we admire this enchanting photograph from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us to different times and evoke curiosity about those who came before us.
