All Professionally Made to Order for Quick Shipping

Amidst the bustling port of Le Havre, Michel Adanson captured the poignant moment of emigrant families camped, their hopes and dreams for a new life in hand. Meanwhile, back in France, the game of 'French Happy Families' brought joy and connection, as depicted in the rules and instructions and the colorful box lid. In contrast, Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen's print, 'Pour les Familles Dispersees,' highlights the dispersal and separation that war and hardship can bring. Yet, organizations like the Office de renseignements pour les familles dispersees and the Union des familles Francaises et Alliees. Aide aux meres veu provided support and solace to those in need. Two women and a child, dressed in the latest French fashions, offer a glimpse into the everyday lives of families, both in times of struggle and prosperity.
