A true collector’s curiosity reflecting the visual language and global imagination of postwar French society.

🪶 Collector’s Note:

Produced in France in the 1940s, this Jeu des 7 Familles is a fascinating document of its time — both playful and historical. The colorful lithographed illustrations reveal the stereotypical yet charming depictions of world “families” common in mid-century educational games. Rarely found complete and in such condition, it’s a piece that bridges nostalgia, illustration history, and cultural anthropology.
