Baize Carlo Casino Chairs Empty Gambling Gent Gentleman Lighting Monaco Monte Solitude Tables

EDITORS COMMENTS
Amid the grandeur and opulence of Monaco's iconic Casino in Monte Carlo, a sense of stillness and solitude prevails. This evocative photograph, captured in 1916 during the height of the First World War, depicts a lone gentleman, his expression etched with a mix of melancholy and resignation, seated at an empty green baize table. The once bustling casino, known for its non-stop gaming and high-stakes action, now stands eerily quiet. The soft yellow lighting casts long shadows across the empty chairs and deserted tables, a stark reminder of the war's impact on this glamorous European destination. The Great War had brought a sudden halt to the Casino's lively scene, as the wealthy elite, who once flocked to Monte Carlo for the thrill of gambling, were called to the battlefront. The caption "Monaco Casino - Nothing Doing / No More" poignantly captures the essence of this moment in history, where the luxurious pastime of gambling was replaced by the harsh realities of war. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the profound disruption caused by the First World War, and the temporary pause in the inexorable march of life at the Monaco Casino.
