EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph captures the excitement and joy of a young boy, Chad Valley, engaged in a rousing game of 'The Round Game of Happy Families' with his friends. The year is circa 1910, and the setting is the humble abode of Master Squills, the chemist's son. The round table is laden with colorful cards representing various 'happy families,' each featuring different characters, from red-haired mothers to blue-eyed fathers and their children. Chad, dressed in a collared shirt and knickers, is intently focused on the game, his eyes scanning the cards in front of him. His friends, also in casual attire, are seated around the table, their faces filled with anticipation and laughter. The air is thick with the scent of pills and tablets, a constant reminder of the family's connection to the pharmaceutical world. The game of 'Happy Families' was a popular parlor game during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The objective was to collect a complete set of 'happy families' by trading cards with other players. The game's whimsical illustrations and the joy of social interaction made it a beloved pastime for people of all ages. In this photograph, we witness a moment of pure bliss and camaraderie, a snapshot of childhood innocence in the early 1910s. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to appreciate the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
