EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph captures the essence of a young girl named Miss Plane, the carpenter's daughter, engaged in a playful game of 'The Round Game of Happy Families' with her friends in the early 1910s. The girls, dressed in their Sunday best, sit in a circle on the floor, their hands holding colorful card decks. The game, a popular parlor pastime during this era, involved collecting sets of cards representing different families, with each family consisting of a father, mother, and two children. Miss Plane, with her rosy cheeks and serious expression, is the proud owner of a Chad Valley 'Round Game of Happy Families' set. Chad Valley was a renowned British manufacturer of educational and recreational toys during this period. The girls' cards are spread out before them, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation as they make their trades. In the background, a wooden hammer and nails lie on the table, a subtle reminder of Miss Plane's carpenter father's trade. The wooden jointed dolls, perhaps a prize from the game, add a touch of whimsy to the scene. The girls' attire, ranging from pink dresses to black velvet outfits, showcases the diversity and inclusivity of the game. This photograph offers a glimpse into the simple joys and camaraderie of childhood during the 1910s, as well as the importance of family, play, and community in shaping the lives of young girls.
