The listing, Metamorphosis Game (An Eighteenth-Century Game of Changing Identity) has ended.

Rare Item!

An inventive English game based on 39 eighteenth-century paper overlays and one generic portrait. The original game, painted and colored by English artist Samuel Archdale Beddome, wittily portrays popular historical and fictional figures. Each of the twelve overlays of this reproduction changes the attributes, personality, and even gender of the famous characters.

Please note: this paper overlay game is a REPRODUCTION of the famous artist's original game.

Purchased at THE GETTY MUSEUM. Produced by The Getty Research Institute.

The perfect gift for the intellectual child that demonstrates an appreciation for art and history.

Also makes for a wonderful conversation piece when having distinguished company over.

Use it to spark conversations on famous historical characters such as Mary Queen of Scotts!

You will receive the card portrait, 12 paper overlays, 4 blank overlays (so that you may create your own!), and a card holder for all. (..everything pictured).

This game has been removed from its original plastic sleeve so that the pictures may be taken. All items were then replaced into the resealable plastic sleeve.

Smoke-free, pet-free home (belonging to a clean-freak!)
