hyperallergic:Aviary Attorney is a game based on the caricatures of 19th-century French artist J. J. Grandville, who skewered the aristocrats and politicians of his time by illustrating society figures as animals. Lions sport monocles, birds act as judges, the king is a penguin, and one illustration has a falcon wearing a cravat and sleuthing-style hat. That feathery figure became the protagonist of Aviary Attorney — Jayjay Falcon (his name a play on the French pronunciation of “J. J.”) — a game set in 1848 Paris, as the city swayed on the edge of a new revolution against the July Monarchy.19th-Century French Caricatures Reinvented in a Game About Bird LawyersRunning with ideas. -- source link
