60 cards, printed on one side only, with illustrations from line drawings depicting flora, fruits, fauna, household objects, and articles of clothing, with text printed below each image. According to the printed rules pasted to the back of the upper box cover, the game proceeds similarly to rummy in that a player must collect "books" of four related cards from the fifteen potential groups within the deck. The object, of course, is visual mastery of French nouns. The title label on the front of the box attributed copyright to "Aline du Miguet," about whom we could find nothing. Davis, the commercial publisher/printer, was founded in Nova Scotia in 1897 and produced a wide range of printed materials - from books to postcards to toilet paper wrapping. A curious game that seems unrecorded anywhere. Red coated paper covered two-piece box shows slight rubbing along folds, otherwise fine.
