The "game board" of "Le Noble Jeu des États-Unis d'Amérique" of Verne's _Le Testament d'un excentrique_ appears to have been drawn and/or engraved by one "G. de Ribaucourt", according to the signature in the lower left corner of the image.
My efforts to learn more about M. (Mlle.?) Ribaucourt have been largely unsuccessful. Can anyone here tell me more about this illustrator/engraver, or point me to a source of information?
Regards,
TH
