Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - As the turn from the 18th to the 19th century approached in Great Britain, more and more parents and teachers embraced a suggestion from the philosopher John Locke that learning might be made a play and recreation to children. 'Georgian and Victorian Board Games: The Liman Collection' includes the most beautiful and rare games of the time collected by Arthur Liman. Showcasing 50 games that were made for both instruction and delight, the book reflects on a transatlantic market that flourished into and through the 19th century.
