About the Item
Game board designed by Lucien Boucher
Les Forbans is a game without any randomness, which is rare for that time.
On a world map drawn by Lucien Boucher (famous illustrator known for his maps and posters in the 30's/50's), two teams of pirates settle their accounts.
Intended to be played initially with two players, Les Forbans offers special rules that allow up to 6 players to participate.
The Mappemonde proposes land and sea routes where the painted lead figurines will move.
Lucien Boucher ( 1889-1971 ) composed several posters for Air France, often in the form of maps showing the airline's routes. His first dates from 1934 when the company was founded in 1933.
He also integrated symbolic elements such as the signs of the zodiac and mythological figures by superimposing his planispheres with sky maps.
His work for Air France was particularly appreciated; he became "Mr. Planisphere"!

James Crawford "Pile Series" 6 Silkscreen Signed Numbered
Located in Detroit, MI
"Pile Series" was completed during the 1970s. It has a tongue-in-cheek affect as all the prints are photographs of stacks, or "piles", of industrial construction items silkscreened on cardboard giving these building materials a more aesthetic value. These silkscreens are mentioned and one is pictured in the famous, "Kick Out the Jams: Detroit Cass Corridor 1963 - 1977" iconic publication by the Detroit Institute of Arts regarding Detroit's Cass Corridor Artists. They are all signed and numbered.
James Alan Crawford was born in 1944 in Hillsdale, Michigan. He studied art for two years at Michigan State University before transferring to Wayne State University and graduating there. He received his MFA in 1969 while being mentored by John Egner and Aris Koutroulis...
