Description

Loto chonologique des Rois de France. Narçon, Paris (circa 1880) Loto chonologique des Rois de France. Narçon, Paris (circa 1880). Wooden cardboard box, size 22 x 28 x 4 cm. Colorized and gummed lithograph (Lith. H. Jannin, Paris d'après B. Coudert): central title, coats of arms and flags above and below, Merove and Charlemagne on either side; gilded and embossed framing border. The interior is divided into three compartments, each containing eleven oblong cards, size 10 x 16 cm, a bag of wooden counters numbered from 1 to 90, and a bag of tokens. Historical lotto game. Each card, lithographed, colored and gummed on the front, features seven profiles of French kings in medallions; at the bottom, nine numbered squares. A classic lotto with educational connotations: the names and dates inscribed on the cards can help children to memorize them and give them a taste for history. There are nine duplicate numbers on the cards (23 - 34 - 42 - 53 - 60 - 65 - 71 - 76 - 80). This is the second version, under the same title, of a game the publisher had already published some twenty years earlier; the first was much more polished and luxurious, as were all Narçon games at the time. This new version testifies to the difficulties faced by the publisher, which was soon to go out of business. Traces of angular tape on cover.
