EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delightful world of Victorian animal families through a unique card game called Noah's Ark. In this particular image, we are introduced to Mr. Donkey, Mrs. Ass, and their adorable Baby Donkey, who belong to one of the seventeen animal families in this cherished game. Printed by Thomas de la Rue, a renowned manufacturer of that era, these cards were recently discovered in an ancient attic – a true treasure from the past. The vibrant colors and intricate details seen in this chromolithographic print perfectly capture the essence of 1900s Victorian style. The composition features three charming donkeys surrounded by various objects associated with leisure games and family entertainment. This nostalgic illustration evokes feelings of joy and nostalgia as it transports us back to a time when such simple pleasures brought people together. It is fascinating how history comes alive through art; each stroke on this print tells a story about the evolution of design and leisure activities during that period. These cards were part of an enchanting game known as Happy Families – where players strived to collect complete sets representing different animal clans. Whiteway's remarkable photograph not only preserves these historical artifacts but also invites us into a world filled with whimsy and imagination. It serves as a reminder that even after all these years, the charm and allure of Victorian-era games continue to captivate our hearts today.
