EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 19th century and immerse yourself in the world of high-stakes gambling and fashionable gentlemen's clubs with this image from Mary Evans Picture Library. The year is 1821, and these dapper gentlemen are dressed to impress as they engage in a rousing game of cards. The fashionable attire of the era is on full display, with the men wearing top hats featuring wider crowns at the top, signifying their affluence and status. Their coats boast roll collars, tails, and cut-away fronts, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. Strapped pantaloons complete the look, providing a snug fit and allowing for freedom of movement. One gentleman in the foreground wears glasses, adding an intriguing element to his appearance. He dons a cossack, a type of high boots that were popular among the Cossacks of Eastern Europe, adding a touch of exoticism to his outfit. The setting is that of a den or gambling hell, with the men gathered around a table, their faces focused intently on the cards in front of them. The atmosphere is thick with tension and excitement, as the stakes are high and the competition fierce. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of gaming fashions during the Regency period. The roll collars, tails, and cut-away fronts were all popular styles for men's coats during this time, while the wider crowns on their hats and the strapped pantaloons were symbols of wealth and status. This photograph is a must-have for anyone with an interest in historical fashion, gambling culture, or the history of men's wear.
