EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and join Florence Upton for an engaging game of Drilling with these charming turn-of-the-century playing cards! In this image, Florence, dressed in a stylish striped dress and spotty apron, stands attentively before her audience, ready to begin the game. The Drilling cards, which date back to the late 1800s, are held in her hands, their vibrant designs and intricate details on full display. The Drilling card game, a popular pastime during the Victorian era, was a variation of the classic trick-taking game, Cribbage. The objective of the game was to form specific combinations of cards to earn points. The unique aspect of Drilling was the use of dolls or figurines, like Florence, to represent each player. These dolls would be moved along a track as points were earned, adding an element of whimsy and entertainment to the game. As Florence begins the game, her audience, unseen in the photograph, leans in with rapt attention, eager to participate and see who will come out on top. The drill in the background, a common symbol of industry and progress during the era, serves as a reminder of the connection between games and the larger world beyond. This photograph, taken in the 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple pleasures and social connections that could be found in a game of Drilling with friends and family. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of playing cards and the role they play in bringing people together, even in the most unexpected of ways.
