EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment from the early 1910s, featuring a young boy named Chad Valley, engrossed in a game of "The Round Game of Happy Families" with his friends. The game, known as "Master Scraps, The Butcher's Son," was a popular variation of the classic card game "Happy Families." Chad is seen sitting on a wooden bench, dressed in a warm cap and scarf, holding a basket filled with cards. His friends, also bundled up against the cold, sit around him, intently focused on their own sets of cards. The vibrant colors of the cards - red, blue, and green - contrast beautifully with the muted tones of their winter clothing. The game, which involved collecting sets of cards based on different themes, such as professions or colors, was a favorite pastime for children during this era. The name "Master Scraps, The Butcher's Son" suggests that this particular variation may have involved cards depicting various butcher's tools or animals. The image offers a glimpse into the simple pleasures and social connections that children found in games during this time period. The boys' intense concentration on their cards, their bundled-up appearance, and the shared sense of excitement and anticipation all speak to the universal appeal of a good game and the enduring bonds that can be formed through play.
