Vintage games today
This is such a sweet image! Wouldn't it be wonderful if all children played so nicely and sweetly? Just precious. If you look at the game board closely it says, "Harmony". And take a look at that gorgeous mirror in the background.

This is a rare board game circa 1840 to 1860 called the George Washington Snake Game. It's a hand-colored wood engraving showing a game board with red, gold, and blue spaces, numbered between 1 and 122. On the board are illustrations that are numbered and correspond to the blue starred spaces, which are action spots, the player landing on one follows the instructions given with the corresponding illustration, and moves accordingly. At the beginning of the game is a portrait of George Washington and at the end, a rustic looking homestead identified as the "home of the Washington family".
What a treasure!
