EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative portrait photograph, titled 'Man Playing Cards,' captures the essence of a bygone era, circa 1939. The image features a man intently focused on his card game, with a glass of alcohol within reach and a cigarette dangling from his lips. The setting is a dimly lit studio, with the warm glow of a solitary lamp illuminating the subject and casting long shadows on the surrounding walls. The man's expression is one of concentration and determination, as if he is engaged in a high-stakes game. The 1930s, also known as the 30s or the Thirties, was a decade marked by economic hardship and social change. This photograph encapsulates the mood of the times, with its depiction of a man seeking momentary escape from the challenges of everyday life through the simple pleasures of gambling, drinking, and smoking. The man in the photograph is identified as Bert Wilson, but little is known about him beyond this image. The photograph itself is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to evoke emotions and memories that resonate across generations. This portrait photograph, with its rich history and timeless appeal, is a must-have for any collector of vintage images or those interested in the social history of the 1930s. It is a reminder of the human capacity for resilience and the enduring allure of the past." March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online is a renowned archive of historical photographs, offering a diverse range of images that capture the spirit of different eras and cultures. This portrait photograph of a man playing cards is just one of the many treasures to be found in their collection.
