The Jolly Vagabonds |
||
This paper and cardboard Dexterity puzzle was made by Luxus Papier Fabrik of Berlin probably around 1880. It is beautifully lithographed and being nearly 2 inches (5 cm) high, it is a miracle that it has survived. Its survival is even more remarkable when you discover what fun it is to play with. Some doors and gates are too narrow for the policeman. The Inn has a half door which the tramps can easily get past but the stout policeman can get in but has to wait for the player to lift the door before he can continue the chase. Chasing the tramps into the central prison requires both dexterity and forward planning. |
