The Liman Collection of Board Games and Puzzles

The Panorama of London, or a Day’s Journey round the Metropolis. An Amusing and Instructive Game.

1809, John Harris (1686–1740), London, England.

A circular track guides players around London. Games like this one act as a window into the everyday life of their players, some of whom would have been able to visit each stop in person. Like Wallis’s Every Man to His Station, this game references itself: Players can purchase it at #41, the Harris Shop.

Gift of Ellen Liman ‘57
