Spel van vernuft / en / smaak 1816

This board game, titled *Spel van Vernuft en Smaak* (Game of Wit and Taste), created by Jan (Sr.) Oortman in 1816, was likely intended for an upper class audience. The artwork features a central illustration of a young couple, possibly a courtship scene, set behind a curtained stage. The game board is filled with numbered squares each containing a different riddle or instruction. The ornate floral motifs and playful design highlight the game's popularity as a form of entertainment during the 19th century.
