The Giant Dwarfs. (Saussine. Circa 1900) The Giant Dwarfs. (Saussine. Circa 1900). Wood-cardboard box, size 32 x 40.5 x 5 cm. Chromolithography on the lid: on a circus ring, a gigantic black clown leans towards a tiny white clown perched on a balloon. The inside of the box is divided into three compartments: two on the sides, each containing three large chromolithographed cards (16 x 30 cm) showing standing figures in their natural environment, their busts being movable, allowing them to be made larger or smaller / a central one with a bag of tokens, a die with three white and three red numbers. 500 €. Comic game of chance published by Saussine. The movable busts of the characters are fitted with a cursor that moves along a ladder as the busts are raised or lowered. Each player takes one or two characters. Each player in turn rolls the die: if it lands on a white face, the bust is lowered (from 1 to 3 graduations), if it lands on a red face, it is raised; the taller wins. The principle is very simple, but what makes the game so interesting is of course the illustration, a caricature of various characters in their environment: a bullfighter in the ring, a letter carrier on his rounds, a peasant in the farmyard, a jockey on the racetrack, a brigadier in action, a black man in front of his square.
