Very good. 11 engraved cut-out figures or objects including ferryman three couples wolf goat cabbage and boat to be slotted into boat original box with engraved pictorial label colored by hand A rare children's game possibly printed by the Parisian publisher Nepveau. Contained in the box measuring 14cm x 7cm x 1cm is a complete set of figures for the two river crossing puzzles known as the 'Jealous Husbands Problem' and 'Goat Wolf and Cabbage'.

In both puzzles there are only two places in the boat. In the Jealous Husbands Problem no woman can be with another man unless also accompanied by her husband. In Goat Wolf and Cabbage the wolf will eat the goat and the goat will eat the cabbage unless they are guarded by the boatman. Originally accompanied by counters and an instruction sheet now lost. The box is lightly worn else in very good condition; the figures are in fine condition except the boat which has been repaired and the cabbage which lacks the lower part of its insertion tab and one female figure lacks a hand.

A 96-line poem written in rhyming alexandrine couplets beginning 'Du noble jeu d'échecs la tactique savante Bannit de sa manoeuvre une ardeur imprudente Et dans sa stratégie il importe avant tout De juger et prévoir l'importance du coup.' The poem briefly sketches out the game's precepts and the merits of the individual pieces with reference to the following political and military figures: 'Le fameux Talleyrand' who possessed 'le grand talent d'attendre' Xenophon Moreau Varus Murat 'Les brillans cavaliers iront comme Murat Caracoler partout au plus fort du combat .'.

ref. 11282Date of publication and name of printer not stated 1840s Paris. 2 pp 12mo. On the first leaf of a bifolium of wove paper. Fair on lightly-aged paper. Signed 'L. N.' in type at end. A 114-line poem in rhyming alexandrine couplets beginning 'Messieurs au jeu du whist adoptez constamment L'air grave britannique et le flegme allemand. Au-delà du détroit le whist a pris naissance; Depuis un siècle à peine on le connait en France; Et tous ces mots anglais: robres chelem et tricks Avec le singleton sont rentrés dans Paris.' A brief and spirited discussion of the various aspects of the game including the somewhat doubtful claim that 'Vingt mille Anglais se sont jetés dans la Tamise Eperdus décavés désespérés et fous De 'n'avoir pas su faire une attaque en atouts: Il faut jouer atout alors surtout qu'on doubte Car c'est un éclaireur qu'on jette sur la route.' The author sums up in the final two lines: 'En d'autres mots enfin retiens que la victoire Est le prix du calcul et le prix de mémoire.'

1990ref. 149761990. Higinbotham William A. Signed typescript of Frederic D. Schwartz's 1990 article on the origins of early video games documents the role of a nuclear physicist in the development of interactive electronic entertainment later associated with Pong. Higinbotham a scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory created an oscilloscope-based tennis simulation in 1958 as part of public demonstrations designed to make atomic research accessible and non-threatening during the Cold War. The document situates the origins of video gaming within a government laboratory environment connected to earlier wartime research including instrumentation work linked to the Manhattan Project. The text provides primary evidence of how scientific expertise developed for military and nuclear purposes contributed to the emergence of recreational digital technologies. Higinbotham William A. Signed typescript of "Remember Pong" by Frederic D. Schwartz. New York: Invention and Technology Magazine 1990. Three pages signed on page three "Best Wishes William A. Higinbotham Feb. 8 1991." The article opens: "Remember Pong In 1972 it became the first successful video-arcade game. In reality though it was invented in 1958. by a man named William Higinbotham." The text describes Higinbotham's position overseeing instrumentation design at Brookhaven and explains the development of a "tennis game with the court displayed on an oscilloscope's screen." It further notes the institutional context of government employment stating that patent rights would have belonged to the federal government preventing personal ownership of the invention. Produced at the end of Higinbotham's life the signed typescript frames early video game history through the perspective of a scientist who had witnessed the first atomic test and later advocated for nonviolence and nuclear restraint. The article connects Cold War scientific culture with the emergence of interactive media emphasizing how technologies designed for warfare and research environments were adapted for public engagement and entertainment. Higinbotham's stated intention to create a nonviolent diversion underscores a countercurrent within late twentieth-century debates over digital media and violence positioning the document within broader discussions of ethics in technology development.

1919ref. 223772東京. Tokyo.: 實業之日本社. Jitsugyō no Nihonsha. Taisho 8 1919. Colourful folding sugoroku game sheet 54.7 × 78.6cm one panel on reverse soiled light even browning small holes at fold points professionally strengthened with washi very good condition. This sugoroku game from 1919 issued as a supplement in the New Year issue of Fujin Sekai Women's World provides a fascinating glimpse into the idealized life of an upper-middle-class woman during that era. The game narrates the journey from her wedding day to the creation of the ideal family highlighting the expected societal roles and duties of women. Starting with the wedding day the game swiftly transitions to the new wife's pregnancy. It follows her through various steps including ceremonial rituals performed by family members and preparation for the child's arrival. During her pregnancy the woman meets with a midwife and follows recommended activities like exercise reflecting some medical advice of the time. As the game progresses the new mother attempts to breastfeed her baby but due to insufficient milk a wet nurse is employed. The baby is then raised with the care of the family and a baby-sitter showing a collaborative nurturing environment. The game concludes with a scene of a contented family where the parents relax with their five children and some household staff symbolizing the idealized outcome of a woman's role in society. This sugoroku not only reflects the societal expectations and gender roles of the time but also offers a window into the medical and childcare practices that were considered important. The game is a blend of cultural norms and educational advice wrapped in an engaging visual narrative. . 實業之日本社. [Jitsugyō no Nihonsha]. unknown
