EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph from the 1920s, we see a young boy named Master Cowangate, the son of the manufacturer of Cow & Gate, proudly displaying his winning hand in a round of the Happy Family card game. The image captures the joy and excitement of a family moment, as Master Cowangate shares a laugh with his family members gathered around the table. The Cow & Gate Happy Family Game, produced by Waddingtons, was a popular parlor game during the 1920s. The objective of the game was to collect a complete family of five members, each represented by cards with different facial expressions and occupations. The game's name, "Happy Family," reflected the optimistic and joyful spirit of the era. Master Cowangate's attire and the elegant table setting suggest a sense of affluence and refinement, typical of the 1920s middle class. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a family bonding moment over a beloved game, and the pride and joy experienced by the young winner. This image, taken by Terry Parker for the Mary Evans Picture Library, adds to our understanding of family life and leisure activities during the 1920s. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of family games and the joy they bring to people of all ages.
