7 Color, Carriage Painted American Parcheesi Gameboard, ca 1875
About the Item
7-COLOR, CARRIAGE-PAINTED, AMERICAN PARCHEESI GAMEBOARD WITH A SPANISH BROWN / TOMATO RED GROUND AND FANCIFUL SCROLLWORK MEDALLIONS, circa 1875
Parcheesi game board, painted in 7 colors on a wooden plank with applied, molded trim. The background is somewhere between Spanish brown and tomato red, on which a grid was painted in sky blue. The track includes black, blue, Kelly green, and a fluorescent bittersweet orange. The same colors are repeated in each corner block, where there are elaborate, yellow painted, scrollwork medallions. The home space is labeled in buff yellow, with old English letters, framed by a decorative border in the same color that complements the surrounding designs.
Likely this board was decorated by a carriage painter, who supplemented his/her work by supplying toy shops or dry goods stores. Whatever the case may be, the work here is exceptional.
Condition: There are minor pain chips and abrasions, and expected wear around the perimeter, but the overall condition is exceptional.

- "Visit to Camp" Rare Card Game by McLaughlin Brother of New York, Ca 1871Located in York County, PA“Visit To Camp,” an extraordinarily rare card game by mclaughlin brothers of new york, circa 1871. This extremely rare card game, designed with Civil War context, was made by McLoughlin Brothers in New York City. The set includes 12 (complete) chromolithographed, character playing cards, and 68 (out of 72) object cards, with various accoutrements. All of the above are housed in a wooden storage box with a slide lid and a chromolithographed, paper label. Played in an ad-lib, story-telling format, the characters include the Colonel, the Captain, the Zouave soldier with red pantaloons, the Rifleman, the Artilleryman, the Riding Master, the Musician, the Ferrier, the Surgeon, the Sapper (engineer), the Sutler (cook), and the Vi Vandeer (a woman who takes care of the troops). Each character was originally linked to 6 objects, which were to be produced by players on demand during a spoken reading of the game’s convoluted story-line. There are actually 69 cards included here, one of which is an object card for “the Chinaman.” Since the card matches the style exactly in printing, shape, and scale, and since there was no Chinaman in this game, I presume that the card must have once accompanied another McLaughlin ad-lib deck. The instructions (reproduced, in scale) list 13 possible players, with the 13th acting as narrator. I could locate only 3 other copies of this extremely rare game, all of which included 12 cards. McLoughlin Brothers is said to have pioneered the systematic use of color printing technologies in children’s books. The publishing firm opened in 1820 and was active until 1920, when it was sold to Milton Bradley. During the early years, the product line included toys in addition to books, among which were games, blocks, and paper dolls. Artwork from famous illustrators such as Thomas Nast, William Momberger, Ida Waugh” (Laura Wasowicz), Justin Howard, and Palmer Cox...Category
