The New Game of the Jew, game board. London: J. Wallis… M. Dunnet… and J. Wallis jun., 27 May 1807. English.
The game board consists of eleven sections. In the center is an image of a Jew seated at a table and counting his money (hand-colored). The numeral 7 appears on one of the moneybags on his table. The rest of the board is divided into squares containing the numerals 2-6 and 8-11. Printed above the central image are the rules of the game, and above them is the number 12. The game is based on a different game called Glückshaus, widespread in the Middle Ages.
