St Mary Redcliffe representing Bristol and England in the age of Empire
Kingdoms of Europe card game, circa 1895
Jaques & Son, 102 Hatton Garden, London
A collecting game published in two series: the first series featuring Western Europe and the second series Eastern/Southern Europe.
This collecting game, similar to another game called Counties of England, was published in two series: the first series featuring Western Europe and the second series Eastern/Southern Europe. The city cards are beautifully illustrated with coloured engravings, whilst the Key cards depict national flags.
Europe experienced a period of unprecedented rapid expansion around the globe during the last third of the nineteenth century. European nation-states had become very powerful because of industrialization and the organizational efficiency of the nation-state, which led to easy dominance of non-European areas of the world. This Victorian family card game captures a snap-shot of European nations from this time.
