Game designed by John Heaviside Clark, "published" in London by Samuel Leigh. It consists of 16 hand-colored aquatint cards, each with an illustration of a different English scene. The cards can be combined in various ways to form up to 56,874,039,552,992 different views, using as few as one card or as many as 16. No matter in what order the cards are placed, the scene is always continuous. Depicted are picturesque rural scenes, including ruined castles, sheep grazing, and thatched cottages.
