Description

The boys are playing Zanzi, a complicated game to score using three dice. The densely illustrated card uses every space for advertising biscuits and wafers. It may have been intended for shopkeepers since the verso says, “Ask your supplier.” Significantly, the printer is H. Bouquet of Paris. Like Leopold Verger, Bouquet printed many of the advertisements in the collection.
