This antique cardboard box cover from the "Game of Cat and Mouse," published by McLoughlin Bros in 1895, features a captivating lithographic illustration of a cat poised to pounce. The vibrant design, coupled with playful typography, reflects the high-quality craftsmanship and creativity for which McLoughlin Bros was renowned. Printed on thick cardboard, this piece served as the original game box cover, capturing the spirit of late 19th-century entertainment. McLoughlin Bros was a leader in the production of games and children's literature during this period, and this was a very early board game. This cover highlights their innovative approach to design and marketing. A charming and historically significant collectible for enthusiasts of vintage games and early lithography.
Notes: The artwork shows minor age-related wear consistent with its vintage nature, with slight scuffs on the frame and backing. Overall presentation is well-preserved and displays beautifully.
