The Columbain Prize Charades (1897)

By Herbert Ingalls

Book Overview

The Columbian Prize Charades is a book written by Herbert Ingalls and published in 1897. The book is a collection of charades, which are word puzzles that involve guessing a word or phrase through a series of clues. The charades in this book are themed around the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, which was a world's fair held in Chicago, Illinois. The fair celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World, and the charades in this book reflect this theme. Each charade is accompanied by a set of instructions and clues, and the book is designed for use at parties or gatherings where guests can work together to solve the puzzles. The Columbian Prize Charades provides a unique glimpse into the popular entertainment of the late 19th century and is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of word games and puzzles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
