I am selling this for the person who has owned it for many many years. Note that a shadow covers a lot of the full pic - the piece is actually evenly backgrounded in yellow. You can see the shadow of my right hand, for example. The first picture has flash-glare.This is actually a wonderful game-part which stands as an independent piece, and serves as a stirring memento to the first years of this classic Citroen model, made also in subsequent years, but this piece is circa 1931. I believe this Citroen model is the one referred to as the Gangster Citroen. Size of piece is a little bit larger than 12" x 15". It's anindependent piece that could be used with a special early battery operated French educational toy or game. The idea of the game was to match up two parts of the surface - French word (or phrase) and picture-part, each having a nice large metal dot to touch with probes with metal ends - if the name and part link up correctly, a circuit is completed, and a light bulb goes on. A. Vichniac, with a Paris address, is the Imprimeur - Editeur (printer-publisher). Marked on the back Au Printemps 19F50 - that's the name of the store (which means In Springtime), and the price in older 1930 Francs, a currency long out of use in France.This was an item that could be bought as an expansion of a large electric question-answer or information read more
