EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "A Game of Cards" we are transported back to the late 19th century. The image showcases an actor, Theophile W. M. Havee, who exudes a sense of intrigue and charisma as he stands confidently holding a deck of playing cards. The composition is beautifully framed, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details captured by the albumen silver print process. The fine lines and delicate textures add depth to the image, enhancing our connection with this historical moment frozen in time. Havee's expression hints at a hidden narrative behind this seemingly innocent game of cards. Is he about to reveal his winning hand or bluff his opponents? His poised stance suggests that he is no stranger to the world of entertainment and performance. This photograph not only captures an actor engrossed in a game but also serves as a testament to the artistry involved in creating such theatrical moments. It reminds us of the power that actors possess - their ability to transport audiences into different worlds through their craft. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Liszt Collection, we can't help but be drawn into its timeless allure. It invites us to imagine ourselves sitting at that table, eagerly awaiting our turn while being captivated by Havee's magnetic presence.
