EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1918, captures a moment of exclusion and nostalgia as a young woman is left out of a card game being played by four others. The scene is set in a cozy, dimly lit room, with the warm glow of a lamp casting long shadows on the worn wooden table and the faces of the players. The young woman, dressed in a simple, high-necked blouse and long skirt, sits to the side, her expression a mix of disappointment and wistfulness. The three men and older lady, all engrossed in their game, seem oblivious to her presence. The older lady, with her stern expression and thick-rimmed glasses, holds the deck of cards, dealing them out to her male companions. The men, dressed in suits and ties, lean in close to the table, their faces serious and focused. The historical context of this image adds an extra layer of intrigue. The First World War was in full swing, and the war effort had left many families in a state of upheaval. Women, in particular, were feeling the brunt of the changes, as men went off to fight and left them to manage the home front. This image speaks to the sense of isolation and exclusion that many women felt during this time, even in the most mundane of settings. Despite the melancholic mood of the photograph, there is also a sense of hope and resilience. The young woman, though left out of this particular game, is not defeated. She watches intently, waiting for her turn, and we cannot help but feel that she will find a way to join in the fun eventually. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, and the enduring spirit of those who were left out, but never truly excluded.
