EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming turn-of-the-century photograph, Florence Upton is seen engrossed in a game of cards, her attention divided between the cards in her hand and the sewing project on her lap. The scene takes place in a cozy, well-lit room filled with the warmth and comfort of home. Florence wears a simple, yet elegant, high-necked blouse and a long, full skirt. Her hair is pulled back in a neat bun, and she wears a pair of glasses perched on her nose. The table before her is cluttered with various sewing supplies - a wooden sewing box, a needle threaded with bright red thread, and a pile of fabric sacks. A half-finished garment rests on the table, suggesting that Florence is making clothes for herself or perhaps for her family. The game of cards, which appears to be a homemade set, is spread out on the table, along with a plate of biscuits and a sack of flour. Two dolls, dressed in outfits that match the one Florence is making, sit on the windowsill, watching the scene unfold. It seems that even toys were not spared from the influence of the card game. This photograph captures a moment of multitasking and productivity, as Florence manages to combine her love for sewing with her enjoyment of a friendly game of cards. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a woman in the early 1900s, highlighting the importance of both practical skills and leisure activities in the home.
