(Probably Paris, 19th century). Half cloth portfolio. 20 strips of paper with colour-printed lithographed full-length portraits of circus-people, costumes and professions on front side, and 6 small parts of similar people, also in colour-printed lithographs, on the back side.

The purpose of the game probably is to fold the strips of paper in such a way that each time a different part from the back comes to the front, and thus completely transformes the various characters. No title or publisher's address is present, but on envelope is handwritten in old ink: "Le Transformisme Humain - selon la Doctrine de Darwin". So probably the game was produced in France.

Good copy of a charming game.- (Few strips rep. with cellotape).
