The whole appears to be a travel game with a route marked on the map. The decorative vignettes surrounding it are numbered 1 to 7 and 15 to 21. This numbers missing appear on the map itself. A brief description appears below each image. Provenance: Jonathan Potter 2009; private collection of Rodney Shirley.
