EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a young girl named Miss Squills, the chemist's daughter, engaged in a lively game of "The Round Game of Happy Families" with her friends in the early 1910s. The scene takes place in the cozy confines of a pharmacy, with its wooden shelves filled with colorful bottles and jars of various medicines, tablets, and pills. Miss Squills, dressed in a patchwork skirt and a blouse with a high collar, sports a spiky hairstyle that adds a playful touch to her serious expression. Her friends, also dressed in simple yet elegant clothing, sit around a small table covered with a red checkered cloth, their hands holding cards as they eagerly participate in the game. The Round Game of Happy Families is a classic card game, similar to the well-known "Go Fish" or "Crazy Eights," where players try to collect sets of cards featuring different families. The game, which has been popular for centuries, is known for its simplicity and ability to bring people together, making it an ideal pastime for Miss Squills and her friends during their free time. This delightful photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a charming snapshot of a simpler time when children could find joy and entertainment in the most ordinary of settings. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of card games, which continue to be a favorite pastime for people of all ages, bringing families and friends together for hours of fun and laughter.
