> 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?
