A Spanish translation published in Madrid in 1807 of a French treatise on children's gymnastics and games, translated by Mariano Iborra from work by Amar Du Rivier and Jauffret, aimed at young people and schools. The engraved plates show boys in outdoor settings wrestling, playing a ball game, racing in a line, and skipping with ropes and hoops, drawn in a plain, orderly style a designer could use for simple period scenes of childhood play and exercise.
