| “Games etc. already published”. Bought with Hudibras in Linda Hannas sale. She says it is the only copy she found anywhere, so an important record. Over 40 games listed, many not yet traced or seen (2023)
However another presumably later list is with the V&A example of Grandmama’ game of Natural History.
There are games on the lists perhaps not actually manufactured by Standring, and dissected puzzles seemingly exclusively made by the Barfoots.
