In 1937 the brand Hermès made a scarf out of that design of figures of this early board game. The 35-inch square silk twill Hermès scarf, or carré, was born. Designed by Robert Dumas for the newly emancipated woman, who as feminine propriety still dictated, needed to keep her hair in order, the Jeu des Omnibus et Dames Blanches scarf was extremely popular.

Condition and Coloring

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
