Four Poker Players or, You Bet Your LifeEntry/Object ID
2022.03.63Description
Studio portrait of four seated men playing poker, or another betting game card, at a low table. The scene is played for swaggering comedy with cigars/pipes, hats pushed back on the heads and much attention paid to their hands of cards. The blurry gentleman on the far left has a pistol incongruously poking out of his vest pocket.
Location and the identities of the men are unknown.
Photo is mounted on dark gray card embossed with framing details.Photograph Details
