EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Mr. Grimes (Chad Valley, The Round Game of Happy Families, Mr. Grimes the Sweep)' from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the early 1910s. The image features a group of working-class men, gathered around a table, engaged in a lively game of 'The Round Game of Happy Families'. Mr. Grimes, the chimney sweep, is seated in the center, his soot-covered face and brush in hand, a testament to his occupation. The men, all dressed in their work attire, wear jackets, trousers, and caps, their faces reflecting a mix of concentration and amusement. The game, a popular card game in the UK during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, was a variation of the classic 'Happy Families' game, where players collected sets of cards featuring different families. The round game added an element of strategy and competition, as players could trade cards with each other. Despite the dirt and soot that covered their bodies, the men in this photograph exude a sense of camaraderie and joy, a reminder that even the most laborious work could be momentarily forgotten in the pursuit of leisure and entertainment. The image offers a poignant snapshot of working-class life in the early 1900s, a time when community and shared experiences were essential for survival and happiness.
