EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intrigue and excitement of a classic parlor game from the early 1900s - Florence Upton's Midget Firing. In the image, a group of individuals, likely friends or family members, gather around a table adorned with an assortment of Florence Upton playing cards. The cards, featuring small wooden soldiers and toy guns, are arranged in a way that suggests the beginning of a round of Midget Firing. The game's objective is to fire a matchstick at the smallest soldier on the card, with the winner being the person who successfully knocks down the most soldiers in a round. The soldiers are designed with intricate details, including uniforms, weapons, and even expressions, adding to the authenticity and charm of the game. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and camaraderie, as each player focuses intently on their target. Smoke rises from the table, adding an element of drama and excitement to the moment. The soldiers, once hit, emit a small puff of smoke, which only adds to the realistic experience. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple pleasures and social connections that could be found in the comfort of one's own home. The Midget Firing game, with its combination of strategy, skill, and friendly competition, was a beloved pastime during the 1900s and continues to be a fascinating piece of history today.
