EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1922, showcases a group of women in East Asia engaged in the timeless game of dominoes. The image transports us back to the 1920s, a decade marked by cultural exploration and the pursuit of leisure. The women, dressed in traditional garments, sit around a low table, their faces focused as they carefully place their domino pieces. The table is adorned with an intricate pattern, adding an elegant touch to the scene. Dominoes, a popular game with origins in China, has various versions and types, some of which involve the use of dice. In this photograph, it appears that the women are playing a version of the game that does not require dice, as no dice are visible in the image. The image offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of women in East Asia during the early 20th century. It also highlights the racial and cultural diversity of the world in the 1920s, a time when people were becoming increasingly curious about different parts of the globe. The photograph is a reminder of the universal appeal of games and the role they play in bringing people together, regardless of their racial or ethnic backgrounds. This photograph, with its rich historical context and intriguing subject matter, makes for a fascinating addition to any collection of historical images or those focused on women's history, cultural exploration, or the history of games.
