EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage photograph captures a joyful moment between Miss Pipe and her young daughter as they play the classic parlor game, Gibbs Happy Families. The image, published in the early 20th century, showcases the playful spirit of the game as Miss Pipe's daughter stands on a stool next to a sink, her curly hair tied up in two pigtails. With a mischievous grin on her face, she splashes water from the tap, creating a delightful splash that reflects the light in her bright eyes. Miss Pipe, dressed in a simple yet elegant blouse and apron, watches over her daughter with a loving expression. Her role as a plumber, symbolized by the wrench and pipe in the background, adds a playful touch to the scene. The presence of the plumbing tools also serves as a subtle reminder of the importance of family and the various roles each member plays in their daily lives. The Gibbs Happy Families game, a popular parlor game during the 19th and early 20th centuries, was a variation of the traditional card game, where players collected sets of illustrated cards featuring different families. This photograph, with its heartwarming depiction of a mother-daughter bond, serves as a delightful representation of the joy and laughter that the game brought to families during that era. This image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the simple pleasures and connections that have endured through generations.
