EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures a moment from the early 1910s, depicting a group of rural men engaged in a lively round of "The Round Game of Happy Families" with Mr. Pumps, the milkman, taking center stage. The game, a popular variant of the classic card game "Happy Families," was often played in social settings and provided an opportunity for friends and neighbors to gather and enjoy each other's company. In the image, Mr. Pumps, dressed in his distinctive smock and milkman's yoke, carries a pair of milk pails on his shoulders as he takes a break from his dairy deliveries. The other men, dressed in simple work clothes, sit around a table spread with cards, their faces focused and animated as they play. The countryside setting, with its rolling hills and verdant foliage, adds to the idyllic scene. The Round Game of Happy Families was a popular pastime in the 1910s, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the social fabric of rural communities during this era. The camaraderie and joy evident in the image serve as a reminder of the importance of connection and community, even in the simplest of activities.
