Two men playing boules, phrenology engraving, 1847
A steel engraving shows two men: the man on the left, in a striped sash and shirt, holds a boule ball, while the man on the right, in a waistcoat with hands behind back, watches beside wooden post. A second ball lies on the ground at left; grey tones and a printed caption mark it as an old engraving.
