Geographical lottery (France, circa 1875) Geographical lottery (France, circa 1875). Wood-cardboard box, size 41.4 x 29 x 6 cm. Gilded globe and title on lid, embossed frame. The interior is divided into three compartments, containing: 24 game cards, oblong format 26.5 x 12 cm / 90 numbered boxwood counters / a wicker basket with bone tokens. The playing cards have two useful sides. One is a classic lotto board, in black, with fifteen numbers; the other has fifteen lithographed and colored squares, each assigned to a department, including Algeria: name of the department and capital, pictorial representation of a famous local child or local production or building. Boxwood pieces feature a number and the name of a département. The game can be played in two different ways: one is the most ordinary lotto game, where only the numbers are taken into account; the other is more educational, using the name of the département as a starting point from which players discover the name of the chief town and local specialities; the first is a little sad, the second is more cheerful, using the coloured side of the cards, which are very attractively decorated, no doubt to show children that education is a pleasure! Note that the game was published after the defeat of 1870, and the lost départements are depicted in mourning, in black on a blue-grey background. Each illustrated square features two three-digit numbers, the meaning of which remains a mystery. The cover is a little soiled, with some flaws on the edge.
