EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photographic print depicts Miss Tape, the daughter of Mr. Jacques, holding a deck of "Happy Families" cards from the classic Victorian parlor game of the same name. Devised in Britain in 1861, "Happy Families" was one of the earliest known trading card games, predating the more famous "Crazy Eights" and "Crib" by several decades. The game was designed to be played with a set of illustrated cards, each representing a member of a different "happy family." Mr. Jacques, a prominent figure in the British toy industry, is believed to have been the inventor and manufacturer of the game. The name "Miss Tape" is not mentioned in historical records regarding the game's creation, but it is thought that she may have been a member of the Jacques family or an employee of the company. The image of Miss Tape, with her demure expression and elegant attire, adds a touch of grace and sophistication to the promotional photograph. The "Happy Families" game became a popular pastime in Victorian England and was enjoyed by people of all ages. The game's simple rules and the collectible nature of the cards made it a favorite among children, while its intricate illustrations and themes of family and social status appealed to adults. The game's enduring popularity can be seen in its continued presence in modern-day toy stores and online marketplaces. This photographic print offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of a beloved game and the people who brought it to life over a century ago. The image of Miss Tape, with her warm smile and proud display of the "Happy Families" cards, invites us to imagine the joy and laughter that filled Victorian homes as families gathered around the table to play this timeless game.
