EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the intense atmosphere of a poker game in the early 20th century. The image showcases a group of men, both Asian and Caucasian, engrossed in their card game. Sitting around a felt-covered table, they are dressed in stylish outfits that reflect the fashion trends of the time. Some don bowler hats while others sport cowboy hats, adding to the diversity of this intriguing scene. The players' facial expressions reveal their focus and concentration as they hold their playing cards close to their chests. A man with a mustache and cigar confidently holds his hand, exuding an air of confidence amidst the risk-taking environment. In contrast, another gentleman wearing a braided hairstyle watches intently from behind his fellow players. The dimly lit room is illuminated by an overhead light bulb hanging from above, casting shadows on each player's face. Smoke fills the air as some participants enjoy cigars while engaging in this popular pastime. This postcard not only provides us with a glimpse into historical gambling practices but also serves as a window into American social dynamics during that era. It is an artifact that encapsulates both leisurely recreation and political issues surrounding gambling at that time.
