The playground and the parlour: a handbook of boys\ games, sports, and amusements
A Victorian handbook of games and amusements for boys, written by Alfred Elliott and published in 1868 in Britain for young readers at home and at school. The four wood-engraved pictures show boys playing outdoors, with a football match in a yard, a boy by a brick wall, marble or ring games, and a running figure in a bowler hat, drawn in clean hatched line that suits editorial sketches of youth activity.
