EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a delightful scene from the past, featuring Miss Block, the young daughter of Mr. Jacques, the creator of the iconic Victorian card game "Happy Families," which was first introduced in Britain in 1861. The image offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the man behind the popular game, providing a historical context that adds depth to our understanding of the era. Mr. Jacques, a renowned figure in the world of Victorian toys and games, is best known for his creation of "Happy Families," a game that brought joy and entertainment to families and children for generations. The game, which was inspired by the craze for collecting and trading trading cards, quickly gained popularity due to its simple yet engaging mechanics and the whimsical illustrations of the various "happy families" depicted on the cards. In this photograph, Miss Block, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, is seen sitting on a wooden stool, her hands resting on her lap, and her eyes gazing intently at something off-camera. Her father, Mr. Jacques, stands behind her, his arms wrapped around her shoulders, and a proud smile on his face. The warm and affectionate moment between father and daughter is a poignant reminder of the close-knit families that were a hallmark of the Victorian era. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection of historical images available at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and sheds light on the personal lives of the people who shaped the cultural landscape of Victorian Britain. This image is not only a valuable historical document but also a beautiful work of art that captures the essence of a bygone era.
