European Travellers, an Instructive Game

c. 1845, Edward Wallis, London, England.

Geography games like this one allowed “armchair travelers” to experience a simulated journey. This particular voyage cruises around lavishly illustrated landmarks from the Arctic Sea to the European coast, and teaches players about England’s continental neighbors. Scenes include bullfighting, shipwrecks, and ancient ruins.
