COMIC GAME OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1851
I am wondering as to the value of a game I inherited called The Comic Game of the Great Exhibition of 1851. I cannot seem to find a value. Your game, which also falls into the Antiquarian Book Category, is very rare. It was published by William Spooner and illustrated by or in the manner of Richard Doyle. It is a colored lithograph mounted on linen, folded into 9 sections and pasted into cloth bound covers. It originally had a decorative ribbon tie. Available at the 1851 Exhibition held in London, the first of the International exhibitions that followed. Your game/book can be found in a handful of University collections and seldom comes to market. An example sold at Christie's Auction House in 5/2004 for $2,793 US Dollars. Another example was available via a UK Book Dealer at the 2012 California International Antiquarian Book Fair for $9,165 US Dollars. It is likely that the true value falls somewhere between those two numbers.
