    I bought this litho off of a collector a few years ago. it's about 5" tall x 9" wide. I wonder what kind of board game used these cool graphics? This is from the late 1800s.

      Google: "board game" commedia dell'arte.
      Go to images and you'll be surprised !!!!
    2. vetraio50 vetraio50, 8 years ago
      'Il Gioco dell'Oca Dilettevole' aka 'il Dilettevole'.

      3rd guy looks like Punch puppet from Punch and Judy character puppets :-) Neat graphics
    4. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      Oh maybe I am right on search I see this about his character . Interesting . These were very famous puppets and very collectible , per wiki The Punch and Judy show has roots in the 16th-century Italian commedia dell'arte

      thank you vetraio and Manikin! definitely the punch and judy version of Il Gioco dell'Oca Dilettevole' aka 'il Dilettevole!
    6. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      I learned a bit today always knew about Punch and his face but Vet locating it to be a commedia dell'arte I would never have associated Punch with it . Great Vet and who can forget Punches face and to know how he came about was interesting to me as well :-)

      Even the name 'Punch' derives from the stock commedia character 'Pulcinella' through the original English form 'Puchinello'. The importance of the Commedia dell'Arte to the European theatrical tradition is fundamental.

      very cool! i had no idea. mesopotamia may be the cradle of civilization, but italy sure is the cradle of modern, western culture!
