This remarkable late-19th-century French game is a rare double set combining two lotto-style games with an educational geography game devoted to the Departments of France as they existed in the period. Beautifully illustrated and richly complete, it offers a genuine immersion into historical France—its regions, cities, populations, and traditional costumes.
The set is housed in its original illustrated box, with vibrant chromolithographs and finely crafted wooden components. Despite its age, it remains in very good overall condition and is fully playable.
