EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant world of the Mah Jongg Leagues in 1920s London. The elegant Baroness de Wagstaffe, one of the esteemed Directors of the league, is beautifully captured alongside their beloved mascot, "Fa Choy", the Chinese God of Prosperity. The image exudes a sense of timeless charm as we witness a moment frozen in history. Baroness de Wagstaffe stands tall and regal at league headquarters, her poise reflecting her dedication to this popular game that has captivated players across Europe. With Fa Choy by her side, symbolizing good fortune and abundance, it becomes clear why Mah Jongg became more than just a pastime for these enthusiasts - it was an embodiment of hope and prosperity during uncertain times between two devastating wars. This monochrome photograph not only captures a significant figure within the Mah Jongg community but also serves as a reminder of how cultural influences can bridge gaps between nations. As Europe embraced this ancient Chinese game with open arms, it brought people together from all walks of life under one common passion. Preserved by Central News and now shared through TopFoto's collection, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era where tradition met modernity amidst societal upheaval. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty found in human connections and our collective desire for luck and success – sentiments that transcend time itself.
