Board game:The North Pole Game

Early twentieth century board games often carry themes of travel. Milton Bradley's "The North Pole Game" reflects popular culture when it was made, around 1907. Just two years later, Dr. Robert Peary did reach the approximate location of the North Pole by dogsled. The stories and achievements of expolorers fascinated children and adults alike. Bradley's imaginative box cover, with a fanciful airship over mountains of ice, is thrilling to this day.
