1830 1830s Blind Blindfold Bluff Buff Enjoyment Georgian Groups Parties Pulling Tail Games


EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of a children's party in the early 19th century, as depicted in this photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library. The large, airy hall is filled with the sounds of laughter and joy as children engage in a lively game of Blind Man's Buff. The blindfolded man, dressed in a voluminous coat and a tail, turns around, while the other children, some in festive costumes, eagerly gather around, ready to pull the tail or tag the man without being detected. The holiday season of the 1830s was a time of social leisure and enjoyment, where children's parties were an essential part of the celebrations. The game of Blind Man's Buff, also known as Bluff, was a popular pastime that required a great deal of agility, quick thinking, and a good sense of humor. The man with the blindfold, often assisted by a dog, would try to find the children hiding in the room by feeling their way around, while the others would try to evade capture. This photograph, taken in the 1830s, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such simple pleasures brought great joy and happiness to children and adults alike. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the spirit of play and camaraderie reigned supreme.
