Hoyle's Games is an 1859 London compendium of gaming rules and sporting guides, compiled from the work of Edmond Hoyle (1672-1769) and issued by several publishers for gamblers and sportsmen. The pictures are plain line diagrams: a numbered chessboard-style grid, a billiard table with ball paths, and a second billiard diagram showing a rebound shot, which a designer could use as clean geometric schematics.
