EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment of playful engagement between Chad Valley's wife, Mrs. Daubs, and her family as they participate in a round of 'The Game of Happy Families' around the turn of the 20th century. The image, taken circa 1910, showcases the artist's wife in a floral bonnet, seated at a table adorned with a ladder-back chair and a window in the background. With a brush in hand, she skillfully helps her family members select their cards from the spread before them, each member intently focused on their own selections. The Round Game of Happy Families was a popular parlor game during the 1910s, often played with a deck of illustrated cards featuring various characters and their families. The game's objective was to collect sets of matching family members, making it an enjoyable social activity for friends and family. Mrs. Daubs' serene expression and the warm lighting in the room convey a sense of contentment and togetherness, highlighting the importance of family bonding and shared experiences. The presence of the artist, Chad Valley, behind the camera adds an intriguing layer to the photograph, as it offers a glimpse into the personal life of this notable figure. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and connections that can be found in a family game night, as well as the enduring appeal of a well-loved pastime.
