EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming colour lithograph print captures a whimsical scene from the classic card game "Happy Families." Entitled "Mrs Soot the Sweep's Wife," this image is part of a set published by John Jaques & Son in London, most likely in the late 19th century. The detailed illustration, attributed to renowned cartoonist John Tenniel, depicts Mrs Soot with her characteristic soot-covered face and apron, adding a touch of humour and nostalgia to the artwork.
The Happy Families card game was popular during the Victorian era and featured quirky characters like Mrs Soot that brought joy and laughter to players of all ages. This particular print showcases the creativity and wit of Tenniel, known for his iconic illustrations in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
As we gaze upon this delightful image, we are transported back in time to an era filled with innocence and playfulness. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring Mrs Soot to life, inviting us to imagine her story within the larger tapestry of Happy Families.
Whether displayed as a standalone piece or as part of a collection celebrating vintage games and artistry, this print is sure to evoke smiles and fond memories for generations to come.
