EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, titled "The Round Game of Happy Families, Miss Pumps (Chad Valley, The Round Game of Happy Families, Miss Pumps the Milkmaid's Daughter)" captured in the early 1910s, showcases a young woman named Miss Pumps engaged in a lively card game with a group of friends. The setting is a cozy and rustic dairy, with wooden buckets and milk pails scattered around the room. The woman in the center, dressed in a pleated skirt and bonnet, holds a notebook and pen, perhaps keeping score or jotting down notes. A policeman, identified as Chad Valley, looks on with a serious expression, likely acting as the game's referee. The title "The Round Game of Happy Families" suggests that this may be a variation of the classic card game "Happy Families," where players collect sets of cards featuring different families. The image exudes a sense of camaraderie and joy, as the women laugh and chat amongst themselves, momentarily setting aside their milkmaid duties. The milkman and milkmen in the background add to the authentic dairy atmosphere, further emphasizing the rural setting of the scene. This photograph is a delightful glimpse into the past, offering a peek into the social lives of women in the 1910s and the simple pleasures they found in games and companionship. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring appeal of card games and the importance of community, even in the most unexpected of settings.
