1851003486anonymous. a 19th century hand coloured race game featuring English landmarks such as The Crystal Palace and the Railway to York Unknown: Anonymous no date but c1851 The game is from around 1851; it is linen backed across six squares and measures 52cm by 40cm it is hand coloured the board being in the shape of a magnificent egg laying goose; the game is attached to a more recent 20th century cloth folder; the front panel of the original packaging has been attached to the upper board of the folder; there are no maker's or publisher's marks; it is overall in excellent condition there is a small pen mark to the lower left panel of the game board along with a couple of tiny pen marks to the foliage in the top left hand corner The front panel has two scuff marks; overall very good. The Game of the Goose is one of the oldest printed board games dating back 400 years with its origins in Italy. The premise is simple: it is a race game played with dice with the object being to land on game square 63 before anyone else. This game dates to around 1851 at around the time the Victorians played a 'new' royal game of goose adding a 'smoking man' to square 57. Showing the conventions of the day any male player would need to go backwards if they landed on this square presumably so they could have a good smoke any female player though could stay where they were. For much of the 19th century smoking was associated with men and deemed an acceptable past time for males in politics academia and commerce but not women and this was reflected in the rules. There are notable landmarks from 1851 on the board including The Crystal Palace on square 42 and The Great Northern Railway on square 6 being the project to link York to London. A scarce board game there are none in commerce and they rarely turn up especially in such nice condition with the game board well preserved by a previous owner. . Very Good.

Although this small book shows significant wear it is integral and its original appearance and function remain intact. Calling this book "rare" is an understatement. In the reference literature we can find only a single copy located at the British Library. We have a longer description which we will gladly send upon request . Our volume seems to represent a form and manner of bookselling which was starting to ebb away -- the world of the booksellers who worked and mostly lived on old London Bridge offering chapbooks and their like -- ballads broadsides newsbooks novels and histories romances jest books pious works and almanacs -- cheaply made books at very low prices. One of the two names associated with this book belongs to Matthew Hotham. Like most of the London Bridge booksellers he started out as an apprentice. As his master had done before him he maintained a wider base of operations than his narrow stall on the stone London Bridge since he fed chapbooks horn books and similar inexpensive printed items to a number of roving salesmen the so-called "chapmen" who wandered through England selling these cheap books at fairs and markets to people who were unlikely ever to have stepped over the threshhold of a book shop of any sort. "chap" is derived from the Old English "ceap" meaning "barter business dealing" -- our modern word "cheap" comes from the same source . For the most part the chapmen worked on margin; when they managed to empty their box they returned to London Bridge paid for what they had sold and received another varied lot of consigned books. By the early 18th century when our book was produced the cycle of trade with the roving chapmen was a couple of centuries old. The name in the imprint of our title page James Hodges had also been an apprentice on London Bridge -- but he was younger than Matthew Hotham probably still in his tee .
