1794réf. 114610London: John Wallis 1794. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London John Wallis 24 December 1794. Overall dimensions 520 × 663 mm dissected into 16 panels and mounted on linen comprising a hand-coloured map engraved by McIntyre printed surface 380 × 530 mm with extensive letterpress text on either side. Paper slightly tanned with a few small marks including some inkspots creases tiny chips and scattered light foxing; top right-hand corner trimmed close with the text lightly shaved; cloth a little foxed and discoloured on the verso; overall in very good condition. An attractive Georgian board game with the winner being the first player to reach London. The letterpress gives rules for playing the game and details of the history and manufactures of the 117 towns mentioned. It is not necessarily accurate; for instance Henry VI not Henry IV was captured at Northampton by the Yorkists. We have traced several reissues of the game using the same plate but with some variation to the letterpress and this error appears in several of them. A spinner 'Totum' and counters were available for separate purchase and are not present in this instance. John Wallis hardcover

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.
