EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment from the early 1910s, depicting a lively and engaging scene of a rural family playing The Round Game of Happy Families. The image features Chad Valley, or Master Pumps, the milkmans son, dressed in a smock and breeches, leaning over a gate with a pipe in hand, while his mother and younger brother, both wearing hats, engage in an animated card game. The green grass and countryside setting adds to the idyllic atmosphere, with a bar and pipe lying nearby, suggesting that the game may have taken place during a break from farm work. The Round Game of Happy Families was a popular card game during this era, and the image offers a glimpse into the pastime's social significance and the close-knit relationships within rural communities. This photograph is a delightful reminder of simpler times and the joy of family gatherings, making it a cherished addition to any collection of historical images.
