Une expédition aérienne, board game, ca. 1895

Une expédition aérienne, jeu instructif et amusant pour la jeunesse (An aerial expedition, instructive and amusing game for the young). Gameboard shows a varied landscape and waterfront filled with 21 numbered balloons. Chart at right illustrates 17 different combinations of numbers on a pair of dice. Chromolithograph by unknown publisher, between 1880 and 1910.

 

Sadly, no instruction sheet...
