The Illustrated French Game, Very Scarce and Lovely Rummy Type Antique French Vocabulary Game box with birds as I found it along

as I found it along with remnants of an antique hand-cut tin lattice/sleeve

I think it is the doodles inside the pages of old books that feel most immediate and full of life to me--like small

Painting mostly with house paint on plywood or cardboard

I find this a very beautiful brush and would hang it on the wall straight away

One short side of box top lost

The Illustrated French Game, Very Scarce and Lovely Rummy Type Antique French Vocabulary Game box with birds as I found it alongI'd never seen a set of these cards before, produced by R. H Davis & Co, Yarmouth Nova Scotia early 1900s I'm sure, though I can't find another deck out there anywhere. They're really lovely, and make for an excellent way to learn or practice one's French vocab ( animals, vegetables, items of clothing, serving ware, etc.) while playing a rummy type game. Box 3 1 2" x 2 1 4" x 1". Complete deck of 60 cards, in excellent condition.
