Step into the charming world of Florence Upton's Breaking Ice playing cards, a captivating and whimsical game set from the early 1900s. This delightful photograph captures the essence of the game, showcasing a young girl named Florence, dressed in a fur hat and boots, playfully breaking the ice with a wooden pick in front of a snowy backdrop. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of two adorable dolls, their rosy cheeks and bundled-up attire reflecting the cold winter weather. The dolls hold their own card decks, ready to join in the game. The cards themselves are not visible in this image, but one can only imagine the intricate designs and patterns that would have graced them, adding an extra layer of enchantment to the gameplay experience. Breaking Ice was a popular pastime during the turn of the century, providing entertainment for families and friends during the long, cold winter months. The game required players to match cards based on their designs, with the first player to make a match earning the right to break a piece of ice with the pick. The game's unique theme and charming aesthetic made it a beloved favorite, and it remains a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the simple joys and pleasures of a bygone era. This photograph, taken circa 1900s, is a beautiful reminder of the magic and wonder that can be found in the most unexpected places, and the enduring appeal of a simple card game shared with loved ones.
