- Curator's comments
- BM has a complete set of the Jeu de la Géographie cards, lacking only the frontispiece to the series: see curator's comment to 1871,0513.587. This, however, comes from a second, incomplete, set, in which all the prints have been cut along the bottom edge, removing the titles and descriptions.
