Original Message A museum is calling on people to solve a cryptic150-year-old message which could hold the key to an “Earthly Paradise”.

The historic poster, thought to date from the 1860s, spells out the prize for a lottery in the form of a pictogram. But baffled museum curators cannot work out quite what the lottery is offering players.

The poster is being displayed for the first time as part of an exhibition on the history of games and gambling at Abbey House Museum in Kirkstall in Leeds.
