1942réf. 221345大阪. Osaka.: 増田営業所. Masuda Eigyosho. Circa 1942. Complete set of 54 flash cards in original pictorial light card box 13.5 x 9.7cm. Some occasional browning box worn and a little chipped but overall very good. A fascinating Japanese wartime card game designed to teach Malay to Japanese speakers. This set of flash cards formed part of a series entitled “Learning the Languages of East Asia” Tōa no Gogaku. Each card bears a Japanese word on one side accompanied by a colourful illustration with the Malay translation on the reverse. The text on the back of the box explains the rules of the game and adds that “because there is the Malay translation on the back of the picture you can study by yourself while looking at the customs and scenery of Malaya.” Although the cheerful illustrations of flowers animals foodstuffs and other everyday subjects give the cards the appearance of a children’s game they were intended primarily for Japanese soldiers taking part in the occupation of the Malay Peninsula as the box illustration indicates. Words printed on the sides show that this card game was produced to be sent to the servicemen in Malaya. Encounters between local people and Japanese depicted on the cards invariably involve members of the Japanese military. One card teaches greetings such as “good morning” “hello” and “good evening” for example shows a Malayan boy bowing to a saluting Japanese soldier while aircraft fly overhead. The vocabulary taught includes the names of various forms of transport such as “ship” “train” and “aeroplane” as well as words including “translator” “army” and “cannon” and phrases such as “come here” and “please show me that”. The latter is illustrated by a Japanese soldier addressing a boy holding a book. An unusual and intriguing piece of wartime ephemera offering insight into the practical challenges of communication between occupier and occupied in Southeast Asia. . 増田営業所.

1994réf. 13290Scarce hardcover viii 97pp 4 pages of glossy colour plates numerous b&w photos in text NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright throughout untanned with unmarked text free of inscriptions and stamps firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This is a practical field guide to the selection establishment and management of crops grown to provide cover and feed for gamebirds produced by the advisory arm of the Game Conservancy - a body whose research into farmland ecology and game management has shaped best practice across the British countryside for decades. This second volume in the Game Advisory Guides series draws directly on that research heritage and on the hands-on experience of the Conservancy's advisory officers working with shoots and farms throughout the UK. -- This guide explains how to design establish and manage game and shooting crops on working lowland shoots. It links agronomy ecology and shoot layout showing how cover and feed crops can be built into existing rotations rather than bolted on as an afterthought. Early sections discuss how to choose and position strips and blocks in relation to drives topography and prevailing winds and how soil type drainage and previous cropping influence the choice of mixes and cultivation methods. The core of the book is a series of crop profiles that compare annual and biennial species and mixtures used to provide both shelter and seed through the shooting season and winter. Examples include tall brassicas such as kale and Texel greens and seed rich combinations based on quinoa buckwheat millet canary grass and fodder radish. For each the guide discusses sowing dates and rates fertiliser needs susceptibility to pests and disease and likely longevity alongside their value to pheasants partridges and a wide range of farmland birds. Later sections place game and shooting crops in a wider conservation and policy context. They look at how winter bird crops function as habitat for declining seed eating species how game covers can be aligned with agri-environment and stewardship schemes and how to balance sporting aims with wider biodiversity objectives. The manual continues to be cited in ecological research and is recommended reading on gamekeeping countryside management and wildlife feeding courses reflecting its ongoing relevance wherever shoots and conservation need to be planned together.

réf. 05401France: 1900. Les Trois Chats" A Delightfully Grotesque French Belle Époque Passé-Boules Carnival Game PASSÉ-BOULES GAME. Les Trois Chats. French hand-painted polychrome papier-mâché ball-toss carnival game. France ca. 1900. A remarkable surviving French passé-boules fairground game modeled as three wonderfully expressive cats arranged side by side each with a wide-open mouth forming the target through which the player was required to throw a ball. Hand-modelled and painted in polychrome papier-mâché over a wooden-supported structure measuring approximately 24 1/2 inches high × 23 5/8 inches wide × 5 7/8 inches deep 630 × 600 × 150 mm. The three feline heads are individually characterized with wonderfully exaggerated green eyes whiskers and large open mouths each approximately 2 1/2 inches 63 mm. across. The particularly splendid central gray cat wears a jaunty orange-and-blue striped hat prominently lettered "TOTO." The cats rest above three projecting differently colored receptacles - blue orange and yellow - with the respective scores "30" "50" and "20" painted beneath them. The higher-scoring central target is therefore appropriately occupied by the magnificently hatted Toto. The whole is reinforced by a simple wooden structure including boards at the base and upper portion while the projecting lower section forms the ball-catching receptacle. The reverse revealing the utilitarian construction of what was intended as a working fairground amusement survives substantially intact. The photographs also reveal the wonderfully irregular hand-modeled surfaces and surviving original polychrome decoration that give the three cats their extraordinary personalities. A remarkable survival of a French passé-boules carnival game from the Belle Époque. Passé-boules - literally games in which a ball was passed or thrown through an opening - were a familiar feature of French fêtes foraines and popular entertainments during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Targets frequently took the form of grotesque or comic human and animal heads their exaggerated open mouths providing the aperture through which the player attempted to propel a small ball. Points were awarded according to the successful target as demonstrated here by the painted scores beneath the three cats. The present example is particularly appealing for its three anthropomorphic feline characters. Their exaggerated expressions brilliant green eyes and distinctly individual personalities inevitably recall the celebrated comic cats of Louis Wain 1860-1939. No attribution to Wain is intended but the comparison places the game delightfully within the wider late-Victorian and Edwardian fascination with humorous humanized cats. Unlike printed or manufactured toys intended for domestic use fairground games were working objects subjected to repeated handling impact transportation and exposure. Consequently early papier-mâché examples surviving substantially complete are inherently scarce. The survival here of the three original sculptural targets their painted decoration numbered scoring system and integral ball receptacle makes Les Trois Chats an unusually evocative piece of French popular entertainment. Its appeal lies equally as a folk-art sculpture fairground artifact and piece of feline whimsy: three gloriously eccentric cats who have apparently spent more than a century waiting for someone to throw a ball into their mouths. Provenance: Acquired in Paris directly from the family of the former owner by whom it was said to have descended from a grandparent who acquired the game around the turn of the twentieth century. France: , 1900 unknown

réf. 04338Paris: H. Duru 1840. A Remarkable Survival H. Duru's Apparently Unrecorded Le Jeu du Portier Complete with All Six Hand-Colored Standing Figures and the Original Pictorial Box FRENCH GAME. DURU H. publisher. Le Jeu du Portier. The Doorman's Game. Paris: H. Duru ca. 1840. An exceptionally rare early French hand-colored lithographed game complete with the original architectural playing board all six numbered standing figures and the original pictorial card box. Original hand-colored lithographed board depicting the façade of a Parisian multi-story house 8 3/4 x 6 3/4 inches; 222 x 172 mm. the upper right corner beveled as issued. Six original hand-colored lithographed cut-out figures each mounted on its original base average size 3 1/8 x 1 1/4 inches; 80 x 32 mm. Complete in the original card box the lid bearing a hand-colored lithograph depicting the same multi-story house and titled beneath "LE JEU DU PORTIER PAR H. DURU." The board and figures in near fine condition; the box somewhat soiled with the corners strengthened with cloth tape. A remarkable survival in substantially complete original condition. The architectural board represents a vertically organized Parisian apartment house its occupants and businesses identified floor by floor. It is lettered from top to bottom: "No. 6"; "No. 5 / Locart Fnt Lunetier au 3me"; "No. 4 / F. Sonnet M.de Dentelles"; "No. 3 / Clagmann et Cie. Banquiers"; "No. 2"; and "No. 1 / Loge du Portier." The six accompanying figures correspond to the numbered hierarchy of the building and are identified as: 1. Le Portier the doorman or concierge; 2. Propriétaire proprietor or landlord; 3. Banquier banker; 4. Marchand merchant; 5. Fabricant manufacturer; and 6. Ouvrier worker. The original printed numbers and occupational designations remain visible on the bases of the figures. The figures form a delightful miniature gallery of French social types: the prosperous Propriétaire in his vividly patterned blue coat; the top-hatted Banquier; the fashionably dressed Marchand carrying his hat; the Fabricant; the plainly dressed Ouvrier; and the Portier the indispensable guardian of the building. Their original hand-coloring remains remarkably fresh. More than simply a children's amusement Le Jeu du Portier presents in miniature a fascinating picture of nineteenth-century Parisian urban life and social hierarchy. Proprietor banker merchant manufacturer workman and concierge are transformed into movable characters associated with a single apartment house. The game belongs to the particularly appealing nineteenth-century tradition in which children's toys simultaneously entertained and introduced their young players to occupations social distinctions and the organization of contemporary life. The choice of the portier as the central character is especially evocative. Occupying the loge at street level the Parisian concierge stood literally at the entrance to the social world represented by the building controlling access and observing the comings and goings of its occupants. The numbered inhabitants ascending through the building consequently provide an engaging physical representation of the social structure of nineteenth-century Paris. H. Duru was a Parisian publisher active in the production of illustrated educational works children's books puzzles and games during the middle decades of the nineteenth century. Among Duru's publications were Nouvelle méthode de lecture progressive ou Lecture apprise en quarante jours Syllabaire universel en action Les homonymes illustrés Grammaire illustrée and Alphabet chantant. Duru's activity as a publisher of games is independently confirmed by another lithographed production Le Jeu du Touriste preserved in the collection of the Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée Mucem. The survival of the six separate standing figures together with their architectural board and original pictorial box is exceptional. The standing figures are of particularly delicate construction consisting of thin lithographed card cut-outs mounted upright on their original bases - ephemeral playthings never intended to survive nearly two centuries of use. We have been unable to locate another example of Le Jeu du Portier in OCLC or in the institutional collections and published references consulted. Apparently unrecorded and possibly unique in this complete state. A remarkable and highly evocative survival of an early French children's game combining hand-colored lithography three-dimensional play and a wonderfully detailed representation of nineteenth-century Parisian social life.

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'.

Fair on lightly-aged and creased paper with thin strip of previous mount adhering to inner margin of first page. 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 .'.

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.'
