About This Item

London, [1855]. Engraved folding cartographic race game, 49.5 x 63 cm, dissected into 12 panels and laid on linen, original hand colour, folding into cloth covers, lettered direct. Wear to intersections of folds, ink stain to front cover. Lacks rule book. Worldcat locates three examples, but there appears to be a fourth, with rules, in the part of the Richard Ballam Collection donated to the John Johnson Collection of Printed Ephemera at the Bodleian Library (c.f. https://www.gamesboard.org.uk/cgi-pub/gardpub.cgi?table=examples&pk=14022&command=view). Ballam attributes the game to Barfoot and gives the printer as Jarrold of Norwich; the rules describe the Crimean War as being the ‘present time’ and on the game itself the Crimean peninsula is bombarded by the Allied fleet. The three examples on Worldcat are: OCLC: 270827616 (copies in the Morgan Library New York, and Toronto Public Library); OCLC: 179140105 (Princeton, with instruction booklet; date - perhaps erroneously - given as 1865).
