[Game of Human Life]
La Vie Humaine un Nouveau Jeu. Das menschliche Leben. The Life of Man. Zýcie ludzkie.
Berlin Simon Schropp c. 1790. Engr. broadsheet. Large folio 400x505 mm. Uncut with wide margins 465x635 mm folded. Small tears in foldings and in the outer margins. Stain in upper part. Rare version of this board game with the main title and the individual ones in four languages; French German English and Polish. cf V & A Museum MISC.124-1989.Based on the English version published in 1790 as â€The New Game of Human Life†by John Wallis and Newbury the Berlin publisher Simon Schropp published one version with French text only and this one in four languages. They all go back to Crépy’s â€Le Nouveau Jeu de la Vie Humaine†from ca. 1775.The aim of the game is to reach immortality and the end space nr 84 of the game is the Immortal Man. This version contains no printed rules but the game is so similar to that published by John Wallis that it will be played the same way:The game is played with two dice. Each tile on the playing field has instructions to follow. For instance: â€The Studious Boy at 7 shall receive a Stake and shall proceed to 42 the place of the Oratorâ€. â€The Negliant boy at 11 shall pay a Stake and shall remain two rounds without spinningâ€. â€The Married Man at 34 shall receive two Stakes for his Wife’s Portion and go to be a Good Father at 56â€. â€The Romance Writer at 40 shall pay two Stakes and go back to the Mischievous Boy at 5â€. Etc.â€The Immortal Man who has existed 84 years seems worthy by his Talents and Merit to be a Model for the Close of Life which can end only be Eternity. When we arrive at the No. 84 we shall have gained all we can by this Game but if we exceed this number we must go back as many points as we have proceeded beyond it. The Age of Man is divided in seven periods of twelve years viz. Infance to Youth Manhood Prime of Life Sedate Middle-age Old age Decreptitude and Dotageâ€. Some famous people are depicted. As philosoper nr 62 is Voltaire the poet nr 41 is Alexander Pope and the geographer nr 47 is Captain Cook pointing at a map. The final end space Immortality in the Berlin version shows a monument to Leopold of Brunswick Prince of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel 1752-85. His charity as a general towards his soldiers made him famous and he drowned while trying to save his soldiers lives in the great flood of the River Oder. unknown

Loterie.
<p><i>Wooden box 32 x 26 x 8 cm with light blue patterned paper covering; the lid with a label lettered 'Loterie' and a hinged pierced wooden sign with the words 'Loterie' lettered in gilt paper on red; the lined paper interior with a central mounted wheel between mirrored sides and two hanging silk balls; the fall front where the prizes are held with two spaces left and right containing six lottery cards one from another set together with 16 toy prizes as listed below.</i></p><p>Lottery or carnival wheels games became popular at the end of the nineteenth century. Their construction was more complicated than heretofore with the addition of a rotating wheel with pins with a 'clack' mechanism sounding as the wheel is spun. The numbers on the wheel are randomly arranged from 0 through to 25 in white on alternating in black and red ground - clearly based on the 'single zero' form of roulette wheel that became the norm in Europe from the middle of the nineteenth century. The design has a second purpose as the box is hinged so that open it is given the form of a fairground entertainment with an assortment of prizes laid out in a display on squares below the wheel that each have a number too. </p><p>The idea of the game is twofold firstly as the wheel is spun and numbers called out the player who first completes a card of numbers is the winner. In the second game when the numbers 1 to 16 are called out and a player has the number on one of the cards they can then claim one of the small toy prizes. The sixteen twenty assorted of toy prizes include: a handcart wall clock bracelet scales pram wooden top bracelet fairground horse two rabbits a chicken a dish a parcel a metal top metal puzzle pair antimony jardinieres and a heart broach.</p><p>There is no makers name and the design although of a solid construction is nevertheless probably a bespoke production possibly made in order to be sold through fairgrounds and market stalls rather than the more salubrious emporia for children. The interior is lined in turquoise paper with bevelled mirrored silvered card sides and although simple the idea was glittery enough to catch any passing child's attention.</p>

<i>Complete set of 48 cards 93 x 62 mm including 4 'Privilege Cards' marked with a star; folded sheet of rules; contained in the original purple card slipcase 98 x 76 x 25mm illustrated title label.</i><br /><br />A round game based on nonsense names of creatures probably the name The Great Galumphus derived from invention of the word 'galumph' by Lewis Carroll for Through the Looking Glass of 1872. Certainly all the other named creatures whose images decorate the cards are each in the same nonsense fashion and include the Crowned Cornubian Tasselled Snort Hound Bubbling Water-Hog Pushfoot Polliwog Climbing Chumtrunk Painted Pooh-Pooh Cissling Sand-Snapper Hairless Hunkum Flying Umbratunk Long Eared Scootler Scru-Wuzzium Lunar Lumpkin Putty Faced Popcat and Spotted Sniffle-Grub. This is a memory game where the players have to claim cards from their opponents after they have been turned over with a set of cards needed to become the winner.<br /><br />Jaques as a games maker had been established in 1795 however it was John Jaques II in the mid Victorian era who is credited with inventing such perennials as Happy Families Tiddledywinks Ludo and Snakes and Ladders where the company's fame was most in the ascendent. We have not been able to trace Miss Jessie Veal but wonder if she actually lived in some part of the far flung British Empire the animals and exotic scenery tend strongly to support this idea.

Housed in original slipcover made of pebbled green paper over boards with chromolithographed label affixed to the front open at top and bottom.

The player tells the questioner the letters corresponding to which cards have their name on them and using the key the questioner adds their corresponding numbers to get the player’s name provided it is one of the 127 names listed. The game is played the same way to determine players’ ages. The game actually works! unknown

Rather pointedly the instructions state that the two maps include only the French shipping lines of the Messageries Maritimes and the Cie Générale Transatlantique the United Kingdom then the leading maritime nation is neither shown on the maps nor mentioned. </p><p>The players first decide which map they are going use and then select or bid one of the Itinerary cards 8 for map A and 6 for map B. The aim of each player is to complete the journey indicated by their itinerary and then make the return voyage; the first player to complete this double crossing wins. However the number of stopovers is not equal for each different itinerary in play. In order to equalise the chances of winning the players with the fewer ports of call have to repeat their journey a second or even a third time if necessary until the number of ports visited or passed by them in these different routes equates to the number of ports of the busiest route.</p><p>The routes all follow those which the two major French shipping companies plied. These include final destinations at Yokohama Australia New Zealand Zanzibar Odessa Buenos Ayres New York and the Antilles. </p><p>Each player places a ship playing piece at port at the beginning of their route. The first player now spins the Barometer Dial which has outer and inner instructions that allows them to advance out of port when their turn come around again the arrow is again spun and the player can read the inner line of instructions and so advance 1 2 or 3 ports along their route. However there are also stops on the Barometer Dial that include Damage - where you go back to the previous port and pay a token to the bank; Heavy Fog - where you are left stranded until the next round; Collision - this allows another turn of the dial but it the result is 50/50 chance of being sunk and thrown out of the game - you can pay for another ships so all is not lost; Call for Distress - also misses a turn; Shipwreck - something like collision although you can start out again with a new ship and no fine; Rescue - also causes the player to miss a turn; lastly and somewhat topical there is Quarantine - here the player misses a turn and also has a second spin of the arrow to determine if you can go into port or not.</p><p>The lid of the box illustrates the Cie Général Transatlantique liner La Normandie that plied the North Atlantic to New York in the summer and the south Atlantic in the winter - the ship sports a US flag on the foremast and the makers initials on the aft mast. Built in 1886 it was the largest and fastest liner of the company and was originally named 'Ville de New York.' It was also lit by electricity and could carry 1000 passengers and became the model for several sister ships built to the same plan.</p><p>The maker Charles Watilliaux succeeded the games manufacturer Coqueret in 1874 and for the next 35 years became a major publisher and manufacturer of board games and toys until their acquisition by Revenaz & Tabernat. His registered initials were 'W.X.' which is slightly modified for the flag on the box lid as C.W.X.</p> Watilliaux, éditeur.

[Paper collectible Game lus poem]
Paper game infinity lus poem ca 1866-1880 Lusgedicht: ""Gelijk een kabeltouw dat aan een paal gebonden als men het tot zich trek geen eind te hebben schijnt"" paper roll with game about endlessness.
Paper roll 6 cm high 7 cm depth 8 cm width. Text in Dutch about infinity and endlessness.NL De begin metafoor Gelijk een kabeltouw dat aan een paal gebonden als men het tot zich trekt geen eind te hebben schijnt ziet op een oneindig lijkende reeks iets dat maar blijft duren zonder oplossing. Een soort lusgedicht. De datum van het rolletje met van na 1866 zijn. Het verwijst immers naar de telegraaf van New York tot aan Londen en die trans-Atlantische telegraafkabel werd in 1866 aangelegd. De spelling pas bij de 19e eeuw voor de spellingshervorming van De Vries en Te Winkel in 1860-1880. Dus het is zo tussen 1866-1880 te dateren.Volledige tekst <strong>spoiler alert voor het einde</strong>!: <em>Gelijk een kabeltouw dat aan een paal gebonden als men het tot zich trekt geen eind te hebben schijnt gelijk de telegraaf van New York tot aan Londen Als men er langs kon zien toch in t verschiet verdwijnt gelijk een groote slang die weg kruipt in de bosschen van blockberg of Mont Blanc als hij tevoorschijn komt zich weer opnieuw vertoont in allerhande bochten zoodat des menschen geest geheel van schrik verstomt gelijk de melkweg die zoover t oog kan dargen zich toont als t vurig pad dat nooit een mensch betreedt en met zijn starrental den mensch schijnt uit te dagen dat men den maatstaf buigt die zijne lengte meet. Gelijk de snelle tijd met groote reuzenschreden voortdurend verder vliegt en altijd maar weer voort Gelijk uit gisteren t heden wordt geboren en dit weer t morgen baart en zich aan niemand stoort Zoo wordt aan dit papier hoelang m ook heeft gewonden Met hoeveel ongeduld men ook naar t einde ziet Gelijk gij hebt gezien wel een begin gevonden Maar toch hoe men ook zoekt het einde heeft men niet. Laat die omstandigheid u echter niet beletten Om met een stalen wil een wil zoo vast en sterk den eens begonnen strijd kloekmoedig voort te zetten Wellicht kroont dan op t laatst het einde nog het werk. Men heeft wel meer gehoord dat na verloop van tijden Een zaak waarna t vernuft vergeeft te zoeken placht Aan welker onderzoek zoovelen t leven wijdden door één omstandigheid werd aan het licht gebracht. Houd daarom goeden moed blijf rustloos voorwaarts streven Bedenk dat m aan dit vers dat door uw vingren zweeft Vier menschenlevens lang heeft achtereen geschreven en twintig emmers inkt daarvoor geledigd heeft. Zoek rustig naar het slot en hebt gij het gevonden zoo laat het niet meer los maar houd het stevig vast en lees dan altijd door het eind komt u niet tegen Daar t als van zelven weer aan deersten regel past nog slechts een woord of wat. Gij hebt dan strijd gewonnen Dan houdt gij glorierijk het einde in de hand Maar toch gaat het weer voort daar waar het is begonnen Want gelijk een kabeltouw dat om een paal gebonden wanneer enz enz enz. </em> unknown

Paris: n.p. 1889. 4to. 10.5 x 10.75 in. Six individual puzzles individually postcard sized approx. 3.5 x 4.75 in. w/ colour chromolithograph image dissected onto nine wooden pieces each 1 small piece has been supplied in facsimile for upper corner of the Cairo street puzzle.

Very scarce original souvenir puzzle game issued for the fourth great Paris World’s Fair celebrating through pomp and events the Centennial of the French Revolution and the storming of the Bastille. The Exposition was intended to pull France out of a ruinous recession and attracted over 61000 exhibitors as well as 32 million visitors many of whom came to view the iconic Eiffel Tower. This puzzle celebrates several of the pavilions at the Exposition including Palais des Beaux-Arts designed by Joseph Brouvard filled with painting and flanking the Eiffel Tower providing visitors; the Palais de Trocadero held over from the famed 1878 Exposition celebrating the renewal of Paris following the Franco-Prussian War; as well as the Ministere de la Guerre which featured an Arms & Armour exhibition as well as displays of knightly tournaments assorted uniforms and cannon. The Maison Egyptienne and Rue au Caire would fuel the Orientalist movement and fascination with the Middle East among artists writers and the industrial arts well into the 20th Century. These boxed puzzle games were quite popular souvenirs as well as educational tools in the Belle Epoque and have become remarkably scarce. No copies in Worldcat. n.p., unknown

[Policing Protesters; Table-Top Game]
Jeu des Manifestants
1895. Paris: n.d. ca 1895. <br /> <br /> Original box 85 x 73 x 20 mm covered in gilt-patterned paper with mounted color illustrated title on outside lid and printed instructions slip on inside lid. With 8 printed rectangular card game pieces plus the rare color printed solution sheet 120 x 120 mm folded twice. Minor split to one edge of the lid a few small tears to the sheet otherwise a very good and complete example of this rare and fragile game.<br /> <br /> § A very early apparently the first issue of this French "game of protesters" in which the player takes on the part of a police officer attempting to prevent people from assembling at a demonstration. <br /> <br /> Not located in OCLC although other searches reveal copies in the Indiana Lilly Library in the Jerry Slocum Mechanical Puzzle Collection one within a "coffret de jeu" a boxed group of puzzles and games at the Musée du Jouet de Poissy and another a variant in which the game pieces are triangular at the Marseille Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée MUCEM. Later issues with varying artwork can also sometimes appear.<br /> <br /> The Marseille museum's copy featured in a forum held on February 5 2024: "Faut-il parler des violences policières" "Should we talk about police brutality". The curator Mireille Jacotin explained: "Jeu des manifestants is a game in which you are the hero that is to say the police officer and as the accompanying instructions explicitly state you are firmly positioned on the side of the public authority responsible for maintaining order. In reality the game consists of arranging a set of cardboard pieces-printed on a right-angled triangle-shaped board-in such a way as to ensure that no two red dots end up on the same line. The underlying concept is to simplify the police's task by ensuring that they do not face a mere undifferentiated crowd-and certainly not any organized lines requiring a tactical breach such as a battlefront during wartime. The game board features no specific characters; instead it presents a simple grid-comprising lines and sectors-that serves as a framework for devising and visualizing a strategic plan atop a generic cartographic representation of public space. The red dots in this scenario represent the demonstrators. On the lid of the box however is an urban scene: an overturned double-decker bus a urinal figures stirring in the distance and a policeman in the foreground." For the original French see https://www.davduf.net/le-jeu-des-manifestants-1895. <br /> <br /> It seems likely this game was inspired by the many protests that took place in Paris throughout the 1890s including the birth of the international May Day demonstrations. unknown

[Pop-Up) Disney Board Game
TOPPER TOY’S DUMBO SPILL
Monsterbeskyttet: Kaj Kjeldsen No date circa 1950. The game board with an impressive pop-up circus tent featuring Dumbo in the center preparing for his famed “burning building leap†and decorated with colorful characters from the movie. Included game pieces featuring colourful characters and an instruction sheet in Danish. 19 by 19 inches fold-up cardboard game board and a colorful pictorially decorated paper-board box containing the Dumbo playing pieces a die and an instruction sheet. One sheet of playing instructions in Danish. The pop up board is in lovely condition some wear to the small box of playing pieces. A WELL-PRESERVED DISNEY GAME and one featuring one of the studio’s most beloved animal characters. Dumbo is of course the baby elephant who could fly. Although the rules are in Danish the game is fairly simple to figure out and appears to be essentially complete. The main attraction here however is the fabulous pop-up circus scene which serves as a centerpiece to the playing-board. Kaj Kjeldsen] unknown

[TEACHING GAME].
SCRIPTURE CONVERSATION Illustrative of the Old Testament. Calculated to instruct Youth in the first principles of Sacred History.
<i>24 printed cards 9.5 x 5.4 cm including 12 question cards printed in red and 12 Answer cards printed in black; a folding printed sheet of instructions; contained in the original wooden box two sides very skilfully replaced; sliding lid with printed title label depicting a seated Moses reading from the Tablets. </i><br /><br /><br />The game is intended for six players who are each provided with a piece of scrap paper called 'Contracts'. The Answer cards are dealt to the players and the Question cards retained by the dealer. The players each examine their aAswer card they have been given after which the dealer selects a question card and lays it down in front of the players and then asks each in turn until the Answer card is produced. If no answer is forthcoming then the dealer refers to a 'key' which matches questions to the correct answers. Whoever reads the wrong answer or fails to recognise they have the correct card in their hand forfeits a Contract. The player who has parted with the fewest Contracts is the winner. <br /><br />Questions include 2 'What time did God employ in forming the Creation' the Answer 'Six days: and rested on the seventh day. We are not to suppose by this expression that God was weary and required rest but that he rested from or left off creating.' 16 'Who is supposed to have arranged and published the Old Testament' Answer 'Ezra a priest of the Jews.<br /><br />Some of the answers stray into the New Testament and are also fearsomely long for children to remember:- 15 'How did the Jews forfeit the favour of God; and will they ever regain it' Answer 'They forfeited the divine favour but their obstinate rejection of the Son of God whose pure doctrine of humility and love was in direct opposition to the worldly pomp and glory which they had falsely led themselves to expect at the coming of Christ. It is predict that they will one day acknowledge Christ as the Messiah and be restored to their former privileges' One has to admit there is quite a lot of anti Jewish feeling in many of the Answer cards reinforcing contemporary prejudices - 22 'In reading the Bible what part may be passed over in order to connect the historical records' - Answer 'You may be allowed to pass over the book of Leviticus and the eight first chapters of the book of Numbers. The books of Chronicles may be read as a repetition of the book of Kings both bring you to the Babylonish Captivity; you then pursue the History of the Jews and read to the end of Esther. The writings of the Prophets as connected with the History of the Bible should be read next. The book of Job the Psalms &. are beautiful compositions and may be read as such at any time.'<br /><br />Produced by the short lived partnership of William Mason Wood a typefounder and shareholder in the Austin Letter Foundry in Aldergate and Kilelm Chandler a printer from Tewkesbury who had recently moved to London and married in 1834. The partnership in Beech street was a few hundred yards from the Austin Letter foundry and as far as we can tell lasted as a business for only a few months before it was dissolved in October 1834. Chandler was successively a printer Station Master Compositor and latterly a Fruitier. We have found no other item issued from their partnership and one feels as a product of their business the cards were a commercial failure.<br /> Wood and Chandler, Printers, 41, Beech Street, Barbican.
