EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The Nose Game - Artistic Nose D7, a charming and intriguing pastime from the roaring twenties. This vintage photograph, taken in 1927, showcases two elegantly dressed gentlemen engaged in an intense game of cards, their focused expressions betraying no hint of distraction. The game they play, however, is far from ordinary. The title of the game, "The Nose Game," is subtly hinted at by the number seven (D7) displayed prominently on the table, as well as the curious glances exchanged between the players. The identity of the game becomes clear upon closer inspection of their hands, each holding a set of cards featuring the noses of various historical figures, including a Beefeater and a Yeoman. The Beefeater, a distinctive figure in the uniform of the Tower of London, and the Yeoman, a member of the Yeomen Warders, are both symbols of London's rich heritage and historical refinement. The men's ruffs, hats, and beards add to the authenticity of the scene, further emphasizing the historical context of the image. The Nose Game was a popular parlor game during the 1920s, requiring players to identify the historical figure represented by the nose on their card. With its blend of history, refinement, and intrigue, this photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the game and the stories behind each historical nose.
