Notes
Content: Printed on border: "This picture shows a curious game which used to be played by the inhabitants of Namur, and which would certainly provide an exciting scene if revived to-day. The opposing sides were mounted on stilts, and the victors were those who, after a general scrimmage, had the most men left standing". Illegible signature at lower left corner of image. Written on border: "v1 1893"
Source note: The picture magazine. (London : George Newnes Ltd., 1893-1896).
