EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the charming world of a bygone era with this image of an Old Maid card game in progress at a grand hotel. The Doorman Dormouse, a unique and humanized character, presides over the game with a stern yet playful expression. Dressed in a doorman uniform complete with epaulettes and a top hat, this dormouse adds an air of elegance and whimsy to the scene. The Old Maid card game, a classic and timeless pastime, is spread out on the table before him. The cards, featuring ladybirds and insects in the colors blue, green, yellow, and red, are arranged neatly, their vibrant hues contrasting beautifully against the dark wood of the table. The Doorman Dormouse's human-like hands carefully hold the Old Maid card, the one without a ladybird or insect, ready to be revealed to the eager players. The atmosphere is one of warmth and camaraderie, as the players, both human and animal, engage in friendly banter and anticipation, their eyes fixed on the Doorman Dormouse. The setting, with its ornate door and intricate detailing, adds to the sense of grandeur and tradition. This delightful photograph, taken circa 1950s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of simple pleasures and the joy of gathering around a table for a game with loved ones. The Doorman Dormouse, with his unique presence, adds a touch of magic and enchantment to this cherished moment in time.
