On American lot-games as evidence of Asiatic intercourse before the time of Columbus [microform]
This is a scholarly paper by anthropologist Edward B. Tylor, published in Leiden in 1896, comparing American lot-games with Asian games as possible evidence of contact before Columbus. Its plates are archaeological and ethnographic drawings of game equipment: a seated pair of players over a board, cast sticks, dice-like counters, a cross-shaped board, bowls and tokens. A designer could take from them the look of 19th-century scientific plates, with numbered objects, hatched shading and neat grouped layouts arranged on a flat field.
