"Het Uilenbord / Jeu de la Chouette," a colorful printed board game by Brepols & Dierckx zoon, was produced between 1833 and 1911. This circular game board, housed at the Rijksmuseum, features a variety of symbols and images arranged around a central owl, perhaps representing the game's namesake. The game, likely a variation of a popular board game, would have been enjoyed by families in the 19th century, offering a playful and engaging pastime. Its vibrant colors and intricate details are characteristic of the craftsmanship of the time. The board game, printed in both Dutch and French, demonstrates the multicultural context of its creation.
