"Het Stoomboots Spel" (c. 1850) by Aron Hijman Binger is a hand-colored board game depicting a steamboat, a wharf, and other scenes from 19th-century Dutch life. The artwork is arranged in a grid of 60 numbered squares, with each square containing an illustration. This board game provides a glimpse into the Dutch culture of the time and the burgeoning popularity of steamboats as a mode of transportation.
