- Contents fine, occas. loosening. Bindings sl. rubbed/ frayed/ worn along extremities.
= Interesting and charming "Christmas Journals" for the year 1920, 1921, 1922, 1931, 1932, 1933 and 1953, full of tales and poems and not devoid of some merry humor, sarcasm and irony. The origins and authors are untraced, the editor(s)/ writer(s)/ illustrator(s) identifying themselves as i.a. The Monkey, The Tweet, The Skeleto Nun, The Dab, The Mouse and The Mole (also the main characters of the stories). Nice and often excellent drawings, probably by one and the same artist (contrary to what is made to believe), the illustrations and typescript text nicely integrated with one another and sometimes in comic-strip lay-out.

81/1083 Games and toys Cardgame of complementary figures 
81/1083 Games and toys Cardgame of complementary figures 
= Consists of 5 sets of cards (3x 5 cards and 2x 4 cards), each set consisting of two types of cards: 3 cards w. a diagonally divided engraving showing a man opposite a woman and 2 cards that show the full-length man/ the full-length woman (two of the 5 sets only with one of the 2 complete figures). The two figures seem to have a thematic relationship with each other: 1. a man carrying a rooster in his arms and a large knife under one of his arms (intent on slaughtering the rooster?), opposite a woman carrying a basket filled with eggs; 2. a praying man seated on his knees captured in a cage, opposite a seated woman spinning wool (waiting for her husband's release?); 3. a poorly clad barefoot man holding a club above his head in menacing manner, opposite a woman swinging a bunch of large keys above her head as if to hit him (thief versus victim); 4. a man looking at a bottle that he holds up (like a drunkard), opposite a woman sitting behind a barred window; 5. a man trying to kill a couple of rats with his shoe, opposite a half nude woman. (The final 2 sets (no. 4 and 5) are more difficult to interpret because both lack the full-length engraving of the woman. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XXVIII.

81/1086 Games and toys Le Langage de Flore Jeu d'Emblèmes 
- Chemise, tilte, rules and one floral card (sl.) fingersoiled. Otherwise fine.
= Each card has the name of the flowering plant below the image. Above the image each card has one part of the four text parts per similar lettered card that together form a more or less emblematic phrase to which the title of the game alludes. Playing proceeds as follows: each player is dealt one card, the remaining cards are placed face down on a table and picked in turn by the players in exchange for one of their own cards. As soon as a player has a complete set of four cards they read out their sentence. As in the game of "Memory", the player who has the most complete phrases wins the game. Very rare. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XXVIII.
81/1087 Games and toys De lustige zeven 
- Lacks the jester cap, the two dice and the instructions leaflet. Cards sl. foxed. Box soiled; bottom part dam.
= An interesting mixture of an arlequin game and a lotto game. All players roll a die. Whoever rolls highest pays a coin into the till and dons the jester's cap. The other players take turns to roll two dice. Each player has a card, where they mark off the numbers they just rolled by closing the corresponding metal tab. Whenever they close a tab, the player may roll again. If a player rolls a number of which the tab is already closed, they pay a coin to the jester. On the roll of a 7, the player pays a coin into the till and takes over the jester's cap and hands over his card to the former jester. When a player has closed all tabs on either half of their card, they get half the content of the till. The game ends when a player has closed all tabs. This player wins the game and the till. Cf. Papertoys p. 130, 236-236.
