Pins Skittles Games

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph captures the joy and innocence of children at play during the Victorian or Edwardian era. The scene depicts a group of youngsters huddled around a set of nine pins, a popular children's game during that time. The game, known as Skittles Nine Pins, involved knocking over nine pins arranged in a triangle using a small wooden ball. The children in the photograph appear fully engaged in the game, their expressions a mix of concentration and excitement. The photograph is set against the backdrop of a warm, inviting lantern-lit room, adding to the cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. The children are dressed in typical clothing of the era, with the girls wearing long dresses and the boys in short pants and collared shirts. The overall effect is one of a simpler time, where the pleasures of childhood were found in simple games and the company of friends. This photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a treasure trove of historical images that offer a glimpse into the past. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of childhood games and the importance of cherishing moments of joy and laughter.
