笔记
This scarce and beautiful instructional game was to be played as a lotto, each player moving around the finely detailed map which is crowded with vignettes of European life and wildlife.
The game aimed to teach an English audience about their European neighbours. The game abounds with details of Europe’s cultures, industries, topography, and natural history, from paddle steamers plying their trade in the Mediterranean and Atlantic; whales and polar bears in the Arctic sea, to bull fighting in Spain, Russians travelling by horse-drawn troikas, and Germans producing porcelain.

传
WALLIS, Edward c1787 - 1868
Edward Wallis was the son of John Wallis, one of the earliest specialist game-makers in England; he was the eldest son, so inherited the family business in 1818, while his father made separate provision for his second son, also John, to set up a separate business.
