Description
Herpetology. An antique home-made and hand-colored board game - a so-called snake game for dice in the form of a hand-colored winding blue and yellow snake over the entire image surface with numbered squares from 1 tom 117. Along the way figures and buildings and handwritten rules in verse form. Framed in acid-free passepartout. Measures with the frame approx. 46 cm. x 55 cm. Image size approx. 42 cm. x 51.5 cm. Roughly dated but late 18th century or early 19th century seems likely.
