These fascinating cards were first published in 1714. In addition to the usual suit and number markings, they bear figures and diagrams which can be used for fortune telling. A contemporary set of instructions for use is printed on two of the cards. (She'll meet a tall dark stranger who's accomplished at whist? You don't say.)
Cards are made of thick white card, with image and characters on one side and blank white backs. Each deck of cards is supplied in its own handy white cardboard box.
