EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to Victorian Britain, where the simple joy of a family gathering around a table for a game of 'Happy Families' unfolds before our eyes. The game, devised by Mr. Jacques in 1861, was a popular pastime that brought families and friends together for hours of entertainment. Mr. Jacques, a renowned butcher by trade, is often credited with the creation of this classic card game. The name 'Happy Families' was given due to the theme of the game, which featured various character cards representing different families. The game's objective was to collect a complete set of 'happy families' by trading and acquiring cards. In this photograph, we see a group of individuals, likely a family, seated around a table, fully engrossed in a game of 'Happy Families'. The warm glow of the fireplace casts a cozy light over the scene, while the expressions on their faces reveal the excitement and camaraderie that comes with playing a beloved game. The presence of 'Mr. Bones' in the photograph adds an intriguing layer to the story. 'Mr. Bones' was a character card in the game, often depicted as a skeleton, and was considered a wild card that could be used as any character. The inclusion of 'Mr. Bones' in the scene suggests that this game night may have been particularly lively and filled with laughter and surprises. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the importance of family, connection, and the simple pleasures of a game well-played. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the enduring appeal of 'Happy Families' and the memories it has created for generations.
