EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the image of Mr. Squills, a pharmacist, engaged in a lively round of The Round Game of Happy Families around the turn of the 20th century. The setting is a cozy and well-appointed room, with Mr. Squills seated at a table, dressed in a dressing gown and pouring a bottle of medicine into a cup, his expression one of intense concentration. The other players, all men, are seen around the table, their faces animated as they eagerly await their turn. The Round Game of Happy Families is a classic English card game, popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, where players aim to collect sets of cards featuring different families. The game, which can be traced back to the 18th century, was often played for entertainment and socializing, and was considered a skillful and strategic pastime. Mr. Squills, with his professional attire and the pharmacy setting, adds an intriguing layer to this image. The presence of medicine bottles and the pharmacist's occupation suggest that this may have been a gathering of local tradesmen or professionals, coming together for an evening of leisure and camaraderie. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when community, connection, and card games were cherished forms of entertainment. This photograph, titled 'Mr. Squills (Chad Valley, The Round Game of Happy Families, Mr. Squills the Chemist. Circa 1910)', is a captivating piece from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offering a unique and intriguing look into the past.
