NA. Near Fine. Beautiful zoological lotto set, with rich animal chromolithographic illustrations on the lotto cards. N.d., circa 1890. The outer box, red pebbled cloth surface, with gilt and green trellis border pattern, etc. Measuring 31 by 23 by 6.5 cm. Three compartments inside for cards and the various pieces. Also with instruction sheet. 24 cards, with six different illustrations (four cards intended for each illustration), and assumed complete. Cards measure 10 by 21 cm. Designs include a fox looking into a hen house, pelicans by a pond, wolves eye-ing sheep, dogs pursuing rabbits, kittens, and birds. Two types of round pieces -- numbered for the master of ceremonies, and colored unnumbered, for players. We would guess there were more unnumbered pieces at one time. Other than possible missing pieces, no condition issues to speak of other than light wear.
