Description
Photograph of a drawing of an early West poker game, ca.1900. A round table can be seen in the center and men holding cards are sitting around it. A pool table is observable in the left background and a man is holding a pool stick while positioning himself in front of one of the balls on the table. Additional people are visible in the background either holding up cups, appearing to be conversing, or standing as spectators around the activities. A small dog is viewable on the floor in the foreground. Windows and a painting along a wall serve as the backdrop.
