Spotprent in de vorm van een ganzenbord, 1867 1867

Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans created this game board in 1867. It is a “goose game” in the form of a spot print or a graphic print. The print is a circular board, depicting a building, with numbered spaces. There are figures of people in the windows, and there is a central area with a landscape. The game is meant to be played with a die, the players moving a marker around the board with each roll of the die. This board can be considered as a satire or social commentary, as it is thought to be a parody of Dutch society in the mid-19th century.
