310203  One whole sheet of chintz paper. Adorned nine men’s morris board on a green colored leaf. Woodcut. 300x420 mm. Backs: Plain. c1850.
Interesting use of a game board as a decorative element. Nine men’s morris dates back to the 2nd millenary BC. Our sheet confirms that its success not only comes from the rules of the game itself, but also from its attraction as an ornament.
Faint vertical folding mark in the middle, the fold slightly split in places, very good conservation.
