These game boards are from the early to mid 1800's. The swans and elephant are hand-colored etchings mounted on linen and the game-board showing a mine w/tunnels is a lithograph. Beautiful graphics, don't you think?
Follow this link for explanations and examples of even more games dating as early as 1588-BibliOdyssey.
