1896223413London.: Lawrence & Bullen Ltd. New Edition. 1896. Coloured folding map tipped in at rear 79 full page and text illustrations by A. D. McCormick xx 658pp original decorated polished red cloth spine gilt-lettered 24 x 15.5 cms front free endpaper browned neat inscription of a previous owner to the front pastedown manuscript short index tipped in by a previous owner at rear boards bumped and stained and spine a little sunned but a good complete copy. A distinguished soldier diplomat and Anglo-Indian administrator Sir George Scott Robertson 1852–1916 journeyed in Kafiristan in 1890-91 living for a year among the "wild" hillmen. <br>The Kafirs’ polytheistic religion and customs were rapidly disappearing by the time Robertson visited and his work served as one of the most important eyewitness accounts of the pre-Islamic cultures of the Hindu Kush and as valuable historical record of a culture that was quickly being assimilated into the broader Afghan Islamic state. It is one of the last detailed accounts of the Kafir people before they were forced into Islam or eradicated by Afghan forces. <br>Robertson’s book also provides important historical context for understanding the political dynamics of the Great Game. His observations of the Kafirs’ resistance to the Afghan Amir and his concerns about the potential spread of Islam in the region highlight the intersection of politics culture and religion in Central Asia during the 19th century. <br>The profuse illustrations are after sketches and watercolours by Arthur David McCormick who was artist on Sir Martin Conway's expedition to the Karakoram subrange of the Himalayas and in 1895 on Clinton T. Dent's expedition to the Caucasus Mountains. . Lawrence & Bullen Ltd. hardcover

19233210241<i>Complete set of 48 cards 93 x 62 mm including 4 'Privilege Cards' marked with a star; folded sheet of rules; contained in the original purple card slipcase 98 x 76 x 25mm illustrated title label.</i><br /><br />A round game based on nonsense names of creatures probably the name The Great Galumphus derived from invention of the word 'galumph' by Lewis Carroll for Through the Looking Glass of 1872. Certainly all the other named creatures whose images decorate the cards are each in the same nonsense fashion and include the Crowned Cornubian Tasselled Snort Hound Bubbling Water-Hog Pushfoot Polliwog Climbing Chumtrunk Painted Pooh-Pooh Cissling Sand-Snapper Hairless Hunkum Flying Umbratunk Long Eared Scootler Scru-Wuzzium Lunar Lumpkin Putty Faced Popcat and Spotted Sniffle-Grub. This is a memory game where the players have to claim cards from their opponents after they have been turned over with a set of cards needed to become the winner.<br /><br />Jaques as a games maker had been established in 1795 however it was John Jaques II in the mid Victorian era who is credited with inventing such perennials as Happy Families Tiddledywinks Ludo and Snakes and Ladders where the company's fame was most in the ascendent. We have not been able to trace Miss Jessie Veal but wonder if she actually lived in some part of the far flung British Empire the animals and exotic scenery tend strongly to support this idea.
