Beneath its innocent appearance as a children's card game , this antique puzzle also challenges the logical thinking of adults . Each character is illustrated in a scene typical of their role or profession (soldier, musician, nurse, etc.), and the goal is to align the pairs in an orderly fashion according to the instructions on the original leaflet. A fine example of a patience game published in Paris, with delightfully old-fashioned humor and meticulous lithography. Its charm is immediate thanks to the richness of its illustrations.
