This is an original linen-backed folding map game published in London in 1809 by William Darton.
Overall 25 1/2 x 21 inches. It is an early example of the "Cartographic Game" genre that became very popular in later Victorian England. The map folds and fits into the original slipcase with printed label. The rules are printed in columns at the sides. The object of the game is to move tokens, originally in the shape of pyramids, their landing place determined by use of a teetotum (called a totum at that time) and read about the region upon which one landed. It was both competitive and educational.
Early map games such as this have become very scarce. Most did not survive since they were children’s toys. This one is in remarkably good condition. There is a light stain in the lower left of the map part and general light age-toning but the colors are bright and crisp. The linen backing is sound and the folds are intact. The original slipcase has two printed paper labels.

1792 Guthrie ATLAS & Geography 21 MAPS Illustrated Navigation America Asia India
William Guthrie was well known during the mid-18th-century for his many contributions to world history, especially through his extensive and thorough books. As a Scottish historian, he published one of the world's best and most popular geography texts of the 18th-century.
This truly impressive 1792 single-volume edition is illustrated with 21 maps! Other interesting inclusions of note:
·
Chronological table/list of world events
·
An illustration of an armillary sphere
·
Coin equivalency tables
·
An early, important description of the discovery of America – though, according to Evans, much of Guthrie's section on America is attributed to Jedidiah Morse (Evans 27077, 28782). Sabin even notes that this work includes "much matter relating to America").
