EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage print depicts a delightful scene of a happy Victorian family engaged in a game of 'Happy Families,' a popular parlor pastime that was first devised in Britain by Mr. Jacques in 1861. The game, which involved collecting sets of illustrated cards representing different families, was a favorite among the upper and middle classes and provided an enjoyable way for families and friends to socialize and pass the time. In this image, we see a father, dressed in a smart waistcoat and bow tie, seated at a table with a serious expression as he carefully examines his cards. His wife, elegantly attired in a high-necked blouse and full skirt, looks on with a smile, her arms wrapped around her husband's shoulders. Their children, dressed in their Sunday best, gather around the table, eagerly awaiting their turn to play. In the background, a maid enters the room carrying a tray of tea and cakes, adding to the cozy and inviting atmosphere. The presence of Mr. Bung, the brewer, in the scene adds an interesting touch to the image. Mr. Bung was a character from a popular children's book series written by English author Richard Doyle, which featured illustrations of Mr. Bung and his mischievous monkey companion, Mr. Punch. The inclusion of Mr. Bung in the print may have been intended to add a playful and lighthearted element to the otherwise serious game of Happy Families. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when families gathered around the table to enjoy simple pleasures and create lasting memories.
