A French example - board only.

By Mauclair-Dacier, Paris.

The two lower boards are more heavily soiled due to the way the game folds up. Once folded, they become the outer covers.

Thank you, Neville. That looks to be a really interesting game. I wonder what those numbers in the inner fort refer to and how the game was played?
