EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, titled "Cheery Families - Miss Bounce the Barrister's Daughter," captures the joy and playfulness of a Victorian-era family engagement in a lively card game. The image, taken in the late 1890s, depicts a young girl, Miss Bounce, seated at a table in a cozy, sunlit room. Surrounded by her siblings and parents, they all appear fully immersed in the game, with expressions of excitement and concentration on their faces. The scene is set in Bunhill Row, London, and the elegant decor of the room, including ornate wallpaper and a fireplace, adds to the sense of warmth and comfort. The family is dressed in fashionable Victorian attire, with the father, a barrister or lawyer, wearing a suit and the mother in a stylish dress. The girls wear frilly dresses and ribbons in their hair, while the boys are dressed in shirts and trousers. The table is adorned with various card decks and a tennis racket and balls, suggesting that the game being played is a variation of the popular Victorian pastime of "Cherry, Families, or Happy Families," a card game that involved collecting sets of illustrated cards depicting different families. The addition of the tennis equipment may indicate that the game includes an element of physical activity and friendly competition. The overall design of the photograph, with its focus on the happy family dynamic and the intriguing title, makes it a delightful and intriguing glimpse into the past. Richard Doyle, a renowned illustrator and designer, is believed to have contributed to the creation of the illustrations on the card decks in the photograph, adding an extra layer of interest to this image.
