Description

Bewitched balls. Amusing, instructive & hygienic. M. D. Paris (circa 1900) Bewitched balls. Amusing, instructive & hygienic. M. D. Paris (circa 1900). Cardboard box, format 7.3 x 16 x 3 cm. Chromolithography on the lid: on a dance floor, three white clowns play with the game and mock an Auguste in a black frac. The box contains two curved tubes, the vertical part of which ends in a small metal basket, and six balls, all in celluloid. This well-known game consists of putting a ball in the basket and blowing into the tube so that the ball rises and dances in the air. Mauclair Dacier "lung-strengthening" game, whose ruler, glued to the back of the lid, describes glass tubes; this must be an earlier version, as celluloid, much less fragile, gradually replaced the glass components.
