EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming box lid design, titled "Cheery Families," showcases a delightful scene of happy children and their feathered friends. The Victorian-era illustration, created by an unknown artist and dated to the 1890s, is part of the Thomas De La Rue playing card collection held by Mary Evans Picture Library. The image features a group of cheerful boys in various poses, some running and playing, while others are tending to a flock of geese. A mischievous boy in the foreground is chasing after a goose, adding a touch of comic humor to the scene. In the background, a mother figure watches over her brood with a warm smile. The overall design exudes a sense of fun and enjoyment, making it an ideal choice for a playful and lighthearted game or activity. The box lid was produced by Thomas De La Rue, a renowned British printing and security paper company that was also known for its high-quality playing cards. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this design reflect the artistic craftsmanship that was a hallmark of De La Rue's playing cards during this era. The setting of the image, with its quaint Victorian houses and lush greenery, adds to the idyllic atmosphere. The location is believed to be Bunhill Row in London, which was a popular area for playing card manufacturers during the late 19th century. This beautiful box lid design, with its cheerful families and playful geese, is a delightful glimpse into the past and a reminder of the simple joys and pleasures of a bygone era.
