Title: Jeu des Manifestants
Author: [Policing Protesters; Table-Top Game]
Seller: John Windle Antiquarian Bookseller (United States)
Description: 1895. [Paris: n.d. ca 1895]. Original box (85 x 73 x 20 mm) covered in gilt-patterned paper with mounted color illustrated title on outside lid and printed instructions slip on inside lid. With 8 printed rectangular card game pieces plus the rare color printed solution sheet (120 x 120 mm), folded twice. Minor split to one edge of the lid, a few small tears to the sheet, otherwise a very good and complete example of this rare and fragile game. ß A very early, apparently the first, issue of this French game of protesters in which the player takes on the part of a police officer attempting to prevent people from assembling at a demonstration. Not located in OCLC, although other searches reveal copies in the Indiana Lilly Library (in the Jerry Slocum Mechanical Puzzle Collection), one within a "coffret de jeu" (a boxed group of puzzles and games) at the MusÈe du Jouet de Poissy, and another (a variant in which the game pieces are triangular) at the Marseille MusÈe des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la MÈditerranÈe (MUCEM). Later issues with varying artwork can also sometimes appear. The Marseille museum's copy featured in a forum held on February 5, 2024: "Faut-il parler des violences policiËres?" ("Should we talk about police brutality?"). The curator Mireille Jacotin explained: "Jeu des manifestants is a game in which you are the hero, that is to say, the police officer, and as the accompanying instructions explicitly state, you are firmly positioned on the side of the public authority responsible for maintaining order. In reality, the game consists of arranging a set of cardboard pieces printed on a right-angled triangle-shaped board in such a way as to ensure that no two red dots end up on the same line. The underlying concept is to simplify the police s task by ensuring that they do not face a mere undifferentiated crowd and certainly not any organized lines requiring a tactical breach, such as a battlefront during wartime. The game board features no specific characters; instead, it presents a simple grid comprising lines and sectors that serves as a framework for devising and visualizing a strategic plan atop a generic cartographic representation of public space. The red dots, in this scenario, represent the demonstrators. On the lid of the box, however, is an urban scene: an overturned double-decker bus, a urinal, figures stirring in the distance, and a policeman in the foreground." (For the original French, see https://www.davduf.net/le-jeu-des-manifestants-1895.) It seems likely this game was inspired by the many protests that took place in Paris throughout the 1890s, including the birth of the international May Day demonstrations.

Condition: Very Good in Good dj
Description: New York: Rinehart & Company, Inc.. Very Good in Good dj. (c.1950). First Edition. Hardcover. [light bumping to lower corners, minor wear at spine ends, a good sound copy; jacket is edgeworn, and has been internally reinforced with brown paper tape along all edges and folds] Mystery novel set along the Cornwall coast, featuring "that delightfully zany pair of amateur sleuths, Jane and Dagobert Brown," who were (of course) vacationing in the area. (Because don't all amateur sleuthing couples, zany or not, always get involved with murders when they're on vacation?) Although American-born, the author spent much of his writing life in England, which pretty much infused his fiction -- one critic called the Dagobert and Jane books (of which there were ultimately a dozen) "at times exasperatingly British, even when they take place in France, Switzerland, or America." It's interesting that this book is cover-blurbed as "a new Dagobert Brown story," when in fact it's Jane who is both the narrator and, in some measure, the driving force of the books. Generally speaking (per critic Ellen A. Nehr), their adventures involve "Jane [doing] all the work and Dagobert wander[ing] through vague attempts at scholarly occupations," as befits a "black sheep of an entitled family." (This was the fourth book in the series, most titles in which seem to have been published simultaneously in England and America, with the American editions generally less common.) .
