Lithography in contemporary coloring. 366 x 594 mm., With margins. Fine specimen.
Very rare flying sheet. The game is imprinted on a single facade of two pages: on the left the "Règle" printed in black with the text within an ornate frame, on the right the color table engraved within a double black linear frame. The bright coloring is of the "au pochoir" type; below is the writing of the publisher "fabrique d’images de Gangel et P. Didion, à Metz". The name of Paulin Didion lithographer from Metz appeared among the associates of the "Imagerie Gangel" from 1860 under the company name: "Gangel frères et P.Didion". In 1861, the name changes and becomes Gangel et Didion, until 1868.
