Aggiungi al carrello9pp, 12mo. On twi bifoliums and a single leaf, only the first of the bifoliums carrying the letterhead. In good condition, on aged paper. Folded once and in an envelope with 'Whist for 2. | Rules by Miss Stanton.' on cover. The letterhead has the feel of the 1920s, but the handwriting is Victorian, and presumably that of an old…spinster. The first bifolium carries a separate set of instructions over four pages, headed 'Whist for two', and concluding: 'Hope you can read it excuse blots for I cant see what I have written'. The second bifolium carries another set of instructions, over three pages, with no heading, beginning: 'The dealer deals 11 cards to each person face downwards and then asks his adversary to name the trump the cards already dealt being placed on the table in this way'. This second section concludes: 'It is a good game for two person [sic] and is best played with 2 packs of cards each person keeping his own pack -'. The single leaf carries a two page set of instructions headed 'How to play the game of Mrs. Allport'. This begins: 'Having cut the cards the lowest deals - and the other party names the trump'.
