The book of games with directions how to play them
A 1909 New York games manual compiled by Mary White and published by C. Scribner's, drawn from the New York Public Library's collection and written as instructions for players. Its one picture is a set of three numbered circle diagrams, numbers one to three, each marked with a simple cross of lines to show a board layout; a designer might take the spare, schematic clarity of these plain line diagrams as a model for minimal instructional graphics.
