Cardboard box, size 30.5 x 38.3 x 2 cm. Colorized and gummed lithograph on the lid (Le sonneur, d'après Célestin Deshays) showing a biniou player in the countryside being watched, swooning, by a mother and daughter, a dog at their feet seems more indifferent. The box contains three lithographed plates (28 x 36 cm), colored, glued to wood and cut into jigsaw puzzles. A puzzle game on the theme of Brittany, based on imagery plates published by Frédéric Wentzel, but it's not certain whether Wentzel, Paris branch, published this puzzle box himself. The image on the lid is not repeated on the inside. The three puzzle boards - also after the Breton painter and lithographer Célestin Deshays (1817-1896) - are: Le Bénitier, Les petits pensionnaires, La courte échelle. These four plates are taken from the "Souvenirs de Bretagne" series published by Wentzel in 1847. The box is in very good condition, but the plates are browned.
