EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mrs. Plane (Chad Valley, The Round Game of Happy Families, Mrs. Plane the Carpenter's Wife") captured in the early 1910s, beautifully showcases a woman named Mrs. Plane, deeply engrossed in a game of "The Round Game of Happy Families." The setting of the image transports us back to a simpler time, with the warm glow of sunlight filtering through the window, casting a gentle light on the table adorned with an array of colorful cards. Mrs. Plane, dressed in a pink blouse and full skirt, exudes a sense of calm concentration as she examines her cards with a puzzled expression, her hands resting on the table. Her husband, a carpenter, can be seen in the background, engrossed in his work, with tools such as hammers, pliers, and a corkscrew scattered around him. The juxtaposition of the game and the carpentry work highlights the balance between leisure and labor in their domestic life. The Round Game of Happy Families is a classic card game that involves collecting sets of cards featuring different families, much like the popular game "Go Fish." The game, which has been enjoyed by generations, adds a delightful touch to this intimate moment between Mrs. Plane and her husband. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the joys of family, the simple pleasures of a game, and the enduring bond between a couple. The image is a testament to the power of a single moment, frozen in time, and the stories it can tell.
