Les Nouveaux savans de société, ou Recueil de jeux, la plupart neufs et inconnus ..
A French handbook of parlour games and conjuring tricks compiled by S.-J. Ducœurjoly and published in Paris by Barba in 1808 for hosts and guests of fashionable social evenings. The engraved plates stage groups of Empire-dress players outdoors under trees, seated in rings on stools with captions naming each game, useful for period costume silhouettes, crowd groupings and small captioned vignettes.
