Work Description:
Illustrated with lithographs by H. Jannin after C. Bommier, the game depicts the 1858 siege of Canton. The original millwood container has a lithographic label depicting British and French officers and a cannon in the foreground, and their troops scaling the city wall in the background. Within the box, one print shows the defending force as seen from below the damaged city wall, a duplicate print is dissected and pasted onto 30 wooden blocks, and ten lithographic vignettes on ten free-standing wood mounts show figures in combat. The box also contains one tinplate spring-loading cannon. (Getty Research Institute)
