Alexander Selkirk Amusement Boardgame Exotic Fauna Flying Fish Inhabitants Instruction Isles Pictographic Shark Southern Wild Animals

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Walliss New Game of Wanderers in the Wilderness" a board game published by Edward Wallis around 1844. The hand-colored aquatint on board measures 69x51.4 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The artwork depicts an intricate map of South America, adorned with vibrant flora and fauna that evoke the exotic landscapes found in the southern region. This educational and entertaining board game aimed to captivate children's imaginations while providing instruction about imperial exploration. Amongst the pictographic representations, number 52 stands out as Robinson Crusoe, recognizable by his umbrella. As players navigate through mountains, encounter wild animals, traverse dense forests filled with towering trees, they may also come across a ship sailing amidst shark-infested waters or birds soaring above flying fish-filled isles. This masterpiece not only offers amusement but also serves as an instructional tool for young minds to learn about geography and adventure. It immerses players into a world where they can explore uncharted territories alongside Alexander Selkirk-inspired characters. As we admire this remarkable piece from the English School of the 19th century, it reminds us of how art can transcend time and serve multiple purposes beyond mere decoration. Let this print transport you back to an era when children's entertainment was both visually stunning and intellectually stimulating.
