EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a print from the "Happy Families" card game series, created in Britain by Mr. Jacques in 1861. The specific card featured here is titled "BARBER / MSTR BLOCK," representing the character of a barber and his son, Master Block. The father, Master Block the Barber, is depicted in the image with a well-groomed appearance, wearing a white apron and holding a pair of barber shears in his right hand. His left hand is poised to comb the hair of his young son, who sits on a wooden stool in front of him. The boy, with a mischievous grin on his face, appears to be enjoying the experience, as evidenced by his relaxed posture and the toy boat at his feet. The background of the print shows a quaint, Victorian-era interior of a barber shop, complete with a toilet in the corner, a mirror, and various grooming tools. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, reflecting the bond between the barber and his son. The "Happy Families" card game, which was first published in England in 1862, was a popular pastime during the Victorian era. The game's objective was to collect sets of cards representing various families, with each card featuring a unique illustration. This particular card, "BARBER / MSTR BLOCK," showcases the close relationship between a father and his son, making it a heartwarming addition to any collection.
