Description
3 1/2" x 2 5/8"
Squared playing card deck styled after early c.1870 playing cards, reproduced to reflect the appearance and format of 19th-century decks. Early cards of this period often featured court illustrations without corner indices (numbers), requiring players to recognize suits and values by full card design rather than modern markings.
The deck follows that historic format, with traditional face card artwork and a blue and white patterned back. Cards are presented in a reproduction box designed to resemble early playing card packaging, complete with an aged appearance.
Playing cards from the mid-to-late 1800s were commonly produced in simpler formats before standardized indices became widespread in the late 19th century. Reproduction sets like this capture that earlier style and are often used for display, historical games, or novelty play.
