[PASTIMES AND GAMES – BENFIELD]. Nuovo e dilettevole giuoco chinese. Milan: Bettalli, [c. 1818].
8° (185 x 110mm). Engraved title with half-page illustration, 34 plates of tanagrams. (Some leaves loose, occasional light soiling, a few spots and light stains.) Modern grey boards.
A geometrical game, the rage for which produced a number of like publications. The only clue as to how to play or what to do is given on the title page: ‘Questa ingegnosa invenzione è fondata sopra principj geometrici, e consiste in 7 pezzi cioè 5 triangoli, un quadrato ed un parallelogrammo, i quali possono essere combinati in modo da formare più di 300 figure curiose.’ SBN only records one holding with this imprint at Genoa.
