The Grey Horse

On this card, from which the game got its name, we see a grey horse standing next to a notice board, with a mysterious annaouncement of a play or game by " Manneken Pis" (the famous statue of a small peeing boy, in Brussels).

The announcement reads:                  
                      
WITH APPROVAL

Tonight will be shown:
The grey horse
an amusing drama
after the same
Bottle and Glass
or the consequences of the game.
Farce = Game
by Manneken Pis
We shall start at 6 o'clock.







On the haunch of the horse's right rear leg we find a capital letter W, similar to those used for King Willem I, but without a crown.
