“Les Plus Beaux Tableaux du Monde” (“The Most Beautiful Paintings in the World”) was published by F. Nathan, in Paris. There’s no date. It’s identified as a “Jeu des Families”: a game in which the players collect four of a kind (a “family”), like the American game Authors.

Twelve painters make the cut (with their French spellings): Léonard de Vinci, Albert Dürer, Raphaël Sanzio, Hans Holbein le jeune, Tiziano Vecellio dit le Titien, Pierre-Paul Rubens, Antoine Van Dyck, Rodriguez de Silva y Velasquez, Esteban Murillo, François Boucher, Thomas Gainsborough, and Rembrandt Van Ryn.
