EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a delightful scene of a happy Victorian family engaged in a game of 'Happy Families,' a popular parlor pastime devised by English lawyer and author, Mr. Eugene A. N. Jacques, in 1861. The game, which predates the more well-known 'Mother Goose' and 'Crazy Eights,' consists of collecting sets of cards depicting various family members, each with unique occupations and attributes. The image showcases a mother, father, and their children gathered around a table, their faces filled with joy and concentration as they lay out their cards. The father, dressed in a formal suit and waistcoat, holds a stack of cards in his hand, while his wife, dressed in a beautiful Victorian gown, leans forward, her eyes focused intently on the game. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly participate, their expressions a mix of excitement and determination. The presence of a skull, known as 'Mrs. Bones,' adds an intriguing twist to the game, representing the 'wild card' that could be used to capture any card in the game. The inclusion of this symbol of mortality serves as a reminder that even in the midst of merriment and joy, the realities of life are never far removed. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of Victorian family life and the simple pleasures that brought people together. The warmth and connection between the family members in this image serve as a testament to the enduring appeal of games and the role they play in bringing families and communities closer together.
