EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph captures the joy and togetherness of a happy family during a game of "Happy Families," a beloved parlor game that originated in Britain in 1861. The game, devised by Mr. Jacques, was an early form of collectible card game that involved players making sets of families, each consisting of a father, mother, son, and wife or daughter. The game pieces were made from intricately designed paper cards, some of which are visible in the hands of the family members in this image. The scene portrays a cozy and intimate setting, with the family gathered around a table adorned with a red tablecloth and a vase of flowers. The father, dressed in a suit and holding a pair of scissors, is engaged in a lively exchange with his son, who eagerly displays his cards. The mother, wearing a beautiful Victorian dress and a bonnet, looks on with a warm smile, while her daughter, dressed in a frilly dress and holding a stack of cards, seems to be deep in thought. The use of M.S.T.R. tape on the photograph's edges adds an authentic touch, reminiscent of the way photographs were preserved and shared during that era. The tape, a common archival material used to reinforce and protect the edges of photographs, bears the initials of its previous owner, adding a personal touch to this historical artifact. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when families would gather around the table for hours of entertainment and connection, playing games like "Happy Families" that brought them closer together. The simple joy and warmth of this moment in time are timeless and continue to resonate with us today.
