EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of playtime in the early 1900s, featuring Florence Upton in an engrossing game of Peg with Gun. Dressed in a soldier's uniform complete with a cap, Florence holds a wooden rifle with a determined expression on her face. A sleeping peg doll lies in the foreground, signaling the beginning of her turn. The game, a popular pastime during this era, required players to use pegs and a rifle to remove their opponents' pegs from a board. The photograph showcases the intricate details of the toys used in the game. The rifle, with its realistic wooden stock and metal barrel, sits comfortably in Florence's hands. Her uniform, adorned with brass buttons and intricate stitching, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The cap on her head, with its distinctive insignia, completes her soldier's attire. The peaceful setting of the photograph, with the soft focus and natural lighting, adds to the charm of the image. The use of natural wood tones and earthy colors further emphasizes the simplicity and innocence of the game. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the joy and excitement that came from simple pleasures like playing Peg with Gun. Florence Upton's expression of intense concentration and focus is a testament to the engrossing nature of the game. Her doll, sleeping peacefully in the background, adds a touch of whimsy to the scene, reminding us that even in the midst of play, there is always a moment for rest and relaxation.
