Atkins Families Inspection Parade Tommy Toys Miss
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming late 19th century photograph captures the joy and innocence of a happy family moment as they gather around to play a game of Happy Families with their handmade paper toys. At the center of the image is Miss Tommy Atkins, the soldiers' daughter, proudly displaying her toy soldier son and daughter. Dressed in a white blouse and red skirt, she wears a paper cap adorned with a red cross, adding to her soldier persona. Her siblings, also dressed in Victorian attire, play along with her, holding their own toy soldiers and paper toys. The scene is set on a table covered in a checkered cloth, with a wooden inspection board and parade ground in the background. Each family member holds a card from the game, adding to the excitement and anticipation of the game. The toy soldiers, made of wood and painted in intricate detail, are a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the time. The image exudes a sense of warmth and togetherness, as the family bonds over a simple yet enjoyable pastime. The use of paper toys and handmade props adds to the nostalgic and sentimental feel of the photograph, transporting us back to a simpler time in history.
