An antique puzzle game of patience and skill, published in Paris by SC Éditeur around 1900. Its beautifully illustrated box, particularly expressive, depicts a devilish dance in a Belle Époque typographic and graphic style. Inside, a puzzle game with a single solution where each chain piece must fit together to recreate a continuous pattern on the provided background. The rules are printed on the lid. A classic of early 20th-century intellectual entertainment.
