EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to Victorian Britain, where the simple joy of a family game night comes alive through the enigmatic image of "Miss Bones, the Butcher's Daughter," from the classic game "Happy Families," devised by Mr. Jacques in 1861. The game of "Happy Families," which predated the more popular "Mother Goose" and "Cribbage," was a popular parlor pastime in 19th-century Britain. The objective of the game was to collect a complete set of "happy families" by trading cards with other players. Each card depicted a character, often with a humorous or quirky name, from various walks of life. Miss Bones, the Butcher's Daughter, is one such character, depicted in this photograph as a young woman dressed in a traditional Victorian gown, holding a butcher's cleaver and a platter of meat. Her stern expression and the ominous title of "Miss Bones" belie her playful role in the game. The history of this photograph is as intriguing as the game itself. While the exact origin of the image is unknown, it is believed to have been taken around the same time as the game's inception. The photograph's authenticity and the connection between the image and the game add to its allure, making it a fascinating piece of historical ephemera. This photograph print is a testament to the enduring appeal of simple pleasures and the power of imagination. It invites us to ponder the stories behind the characters of "Happy Families" and the role they played in bringing families and friends together for a night of entertainment and camaraderie.
