Het uilenbord / Jeu de la chouette 1800 - 1833

"Het uilenbord / Jeu de la chouette" (1800 - 1833) by Philippus Jacobus Brepols (1778 - 1845) is a hand-colored print depicting a circular board game. The board is decorated with images of everyday objects and animals, with an owl at the center, surrounded by a ring of numbered squares. The board is framed by a decorative border, and the title and instructions are written in both Dutch and French. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a fascinating glimpse into the pastime of board games in the early 19th century.
