EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph captures the joy and warmth of a happy family moment in Victorian Britain. The image features a father, Mr. Jacques, proudly holding up a deck of cards from the popular game "Happy Families," which he is credited with devising in 1861. The game, which was also known as "Mrs. Bun," was a forerunner to modern trading card games and became a beloved pastime for families and friends. The scene is set in a cozy, well-lit room, with a fireplace crackling in the background and sunlight streaming in through the windows. A young boy, likely Mr. Jacques' son, sits on the floor next to him, intently watching his father's every move. The family dog, a loyal companion, rests at their feet. The atmosphere is one of love, connection, and togetherness. The history of "Happy Families" is an interesting one. The game was originally called "Crazy Quilt" and was first published in England in the mid-19th century. Mr. Jacques, a publisher and games manufacturer, is said to have improved upon the original concept and renamed it "Happy Families." The game quickly gained popularity and was soon being played throughout Britain and beyond. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into the past, but it also serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of family and the simple pleasures of a game well-played. The image is a beautiful representation of the bond between generations and the joy that can be found in the smallest of moments.
