EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1893, captures a lively moment at the prestigious Athenaeum Club in London, as renowned literary figures Anthony Trollope, Abraham Hayward, W.E. Forster, and Sir George Jessel engage in a spirited game of whist, a popular card game of the time. The Athenaeum Club, established in 1824, was a renowned social and cultural institution, known for its intellectual and artistic membership. Anthony Trollope, a prolific English novelist, sits to the far left of the image, intently focused on his cards. To his right is Abraham Hayward, a painter and art critic, who was also a close friend of Trollope. W.E. Forster, a prominent Victorian politician and author, is seen in the middle, leaning forward in his chair, deep in thought. Sir George Jessel, a distinguished barrister and Liberal politician, completes the quartet, his expression giving away neither his hand nor the outcome of the game. The atmosphere in the room is convivial, with the gentlemen dressed in fashionable attire, their faces animated with the excitement of the game. The intricately patterned wallpaper and ornate fireplace add to the sense of elegance and refinement. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the private lives of these influential figures, providing a window into the social and cultural milieu of late-Victorian England. The game of whist, which involves trying to form specific combinations of cards, was a popular pastime among the upper classes, and provided an opportunity for friends and acquaintances to socialize and engage in friendly competition. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of card games and the camaraderie they foster, even in the most distinguished of settings.
