ref. 214048Early 20th Century. Colour folding game sheet some light browning and a few small holes at folds but overall a good and attractive game. 54 x 80cm. The title of this board game sheet indicates that the game is designed for two opposing sides with one side acting as the attackers and the other as the defenders. The defending side possesses more naval power compared to the attacking side. Although specific playing instructions are not provided information on the right-hand side suggests that offensive tactics should involve either seizing or charging. At the top and bottom there are lists of rear force units for both sides including docks for housing captured enemy boats and sunken boats Red Cross field hospitals and facilities for casualties. Additionally in the corners two small illustrations of warships are printed in blue ink. . unknown

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.' Scarce: no copy on COPAC or in the catalogue of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. See Image. Date of publication and name of printer not stated [1840s Paris?]. unknown
