It’s 96 pages include perforated line drawings, archival photographs, and a wealth of accessible, historical information.

• Georgian and Victorian Board Games: The Liman Collection | Before recorded music, radio, television, and streaming services, families had to create their own entertainment. In United Kingdom of the 19th century, this often meant playing complex handcrafted games, each meant to impart historical, moral, or geographical knowledge. While the style of these games is familiar today, Georgian and Victorian Board Games: Liman Collection showcases a partially lost world, but one whose ideas about childhood, education, and play, while quite different, continue to influence the modern world.
