Work and play annual of home amusements and social sports : containing directions for various in-door and out-door games, parlor tricks, acting charades, &c. ...
A family amusement annual issued by Milton Bradley & Co. in Springfield in 1872, collecting indoor and outdoor games, parlor tricks and acting charades for parents and children at home. The pages are built from rebus puzzles: small wood-engraved animals, tools, trees, log cabins, eyes, ears, nails and oars set in lines with display capitals and dollar signs, giving designers a stock of isolated object cuts, figure vignettes and mixed-type arrangements.
