EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mrs. Squills (Chad Valley, The Round Game of Happy Families, Mrs. Squills the Chemist's Wife," showcases a charming scene from the early 1910s. The image features a woman, believed to be Mrs. Squills, sitting at the edge of a bed in a cozy bedroom. She is dressed in a long, flowing skirt and blouse, her hair neatly pulled back, and her expression is one of gentle concentration. In her hands, she holds a deck of cards from the popular parlor game, "The Round Game of Happy Families." The game, which was first published in England in the late 1800s, involved collecting sets of cards featuring different families, each with a unique name and description. The game was a favorite pastime for families and friends, providing entertainment and a way to connect with one another. Despite the joyful game in her hands, there is a subtle hint of illness in the room. A small table next to the bed is cluttered with various medical items, including a pillbox, medicine bottles, and a dose of pills. It appears that Mrs. Squills is taking a break from her duties as a pharmacist's wife to enjoy a moment of relaxation and distraction from her daily responsibilities. The photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a woman during the 1910s, balancing her roles as a wife, mother, and pharmacist, and finding joy in simple pleasures like a game of cards. The Round Game of Happy Families served as a reminder that even in the midst of daily challenges, there was still room for fun and connection with loved ones.
