An attractive fishing game, the lithographs on the lids and board are particularly well done.

The Universal Post Office. New instructive board game. (France, circa 1905). La Poste universelle. New instructive board game. (France, circa 1905). Wood-cardboard box, size 40.3 x 28.8 x 4.5 cm. Title in gold lettering on blue background on lid. The interior is compartmentalized and contains twelve large cardboard boxes (15 x 21.3 cm) with a chromolithograph pasted on the front / a box containing 96 small numbered cardboard boxes (3.8 x 4.6 cm) with a flag or stamp on the front / a basket / two boxes containing cardboard tokens / a large cloth bag. Lotto game dedicated to the Post Office in forty-eight countries around the world. Each large card features a full-colour image on the front showing four scenes of mail delivery in four different countries. The top right-hand corner features the country's flag, and the bottom left-hand corner a stamp. The forty-eight countries are grouped as follows: twenty-one in Europe, nine in Asia, six in Africa, ten in America and two in Oceania. The 96 small cards are numbered: 48 bear a reproduction of a stamp, 48 a reproduction of a flag. It's a classic lotto game: the large cards are divided up according to the number of players, each one places a bet, the small cards are placed in the bag and drawn one by one, announcing the name of the country represented, the player who has the double on his large card places it, the first to fill his cards wins. The game obviously has an educational dimension, as it shows images in different countries, and players are sure to name the corresponding capitals while recording the representation of the corresponding flags. One of the small cards, lost, has been replaced by a homemade twin with a spelling error (n°30: Madagascar). Interesting imagery, and evocations of the work of postal workers in the various countries are not lacking in piquancy, some of them practicing a profession that does not appear to be a relaxing one.

Observation game. (France, circa 1940). Observation game. (France, circa 1940). Cardboard box, size 25.8 x 22 x 5.8 cm, covered with floral paper, oblique title on lid. The inside of the box features a storage space divided into 12 compartments, each containing eight square cards (5 cm square) with a landscape, human, animal or plant drawing on the front. On top of this is a cardboard receptacle holding twelve large cards (24 x 20 cm), the fronts of which are divided into sixteen boxes: eight are illustrated, eight are silent. Prototype of an observation game for young children, using fairly basic images. Each large card is devoted to an image (a young skier, a flower, a butterfly, etc.) reproduced on eight squares, but each is slightly different from the others: the first is complete, while the other seven are each deprived of an element. These images are matched by small cards that reproduce them identically. Of course, the child must complete the large cards by placing the corresponding small card on top of each image; the over-eager child will not notice the changes in detail. All the drawings are done in pen and gouache, and the overall effect is very neat.
