About the lot N° 548
Title : The Changing Companions. Comic Metamorphosis, Period : 1850
Size : 17.5 x 8.9 cm 7 x 3.5 in
Notes : The figures include: a Colombina and Pulcinella-type pair, a North African soldier holding a monkey paired with a Chinese Manderin playing a pan flute, a tailor and a cobbler, an infantry bugler and a Scottish regimental drummer, a French officer and a vivandiere. This set lacks the rabbit and fox pair. A rare Victorian game in which the pieces can be mixed to produce amusing characters. A complete set contains 48 pieces, but the few sets we traced often lack some, for example the Bodleian Library set which has 40 pieces (as here).
