A Pair of Parcheesi-Playing Posers (Detail)

An enlarged view of the board, game pieces, and dice cups in a trick photo of two young men playing against themselves in a game of Parcheesi. The photo is well composed with only a translucent part of the Parcheesi board underneath the hand on the right and a slightly darker streak running vertically through the middle of the photo to give away the double exposure. I'm not certain what might have caused the dark shape on the side of the building directly above the board.

For more information, see the full version of this real photo postcard.

A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of playing cards and board games.

Two young men pretend to play Parcheesi against themselves as they pose (two times!) for this double exposure photograph.

Take a look at a cropped version of the photo showing a close-up view of the Parcheesi board on the top of the table.

This is an unused real photo postcard with the words "Post Card" and "The address to be written on this side" printed on its undivided back, which suggests that it may date to sometime during the first decade of the twentieth century.
