EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Legless Bridge Table Hovering Above: An Intimate Post-War Gathering" Amidst the backdrop of Post-War Britain, a time marked by social reform and a collective desire for normalcy, a unique and humorous invention emerged that brought people together in the most unexpected way. This photograph, taken by W.H. Robinson, captures the essence of this spirit of camaraderie and innovation. (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library In this image, a legless bridge table, suspended in mid-air by four large balloons, hovers above a lush green heath. The table, which would typically rest on four legs, is transformed into a whimsical and lighthearted object, allowing for a more intimate game of bridge to be played. The players, with their knees tucked under them, lean in closer, their faces focused on the cards in front of them, oblivious to the world around them. The legless bridge table, a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the era, adds a touch of levity to the serious game of bridge. This image encapsulates the friendly and welcoming atmosphere that characterized social gatherings during this time. The post-war period was a time of healing and renewal, and this inventive table serves as a reminder of the world's ability to adapt and find joy in the most unexpected circumstances. This photograph is a historical snapshot of a bygone era, a time when people came together to rebuild their lives and communities. The legless bridge table, with its playful and innovative design, is a symbol of the hope and optimism that defined Post-War Britain.
