Vanity Fair Playing Cards (No. 41), 1895, Cincinnati, The United States Playing Card Co, 52 of 52 cards plus joker. This transformation deck contains pip cards with the suit marks cleverly interwoven into each scene. The courts are comical images, the king of spades smokes a pipe, the queen holds a spoon, and the jack holds a shovel, a one-eyed king of clubs and a head-bandaged jack hold clubs while the queen holds a pickled cucumber with a fork, the king and jack of hearts have red noses and are smoking, the queen holds a red rose, and in the suit of diamonds the court cards are appropriately shown with diamonds. Courts are double ended, indices, round corners, full gilt edges. The Ace of spades depicts Uncle Sam and Miss Liberty in full color and reads, "Vanity Fair No. 41, copyrighted 1895 by The United States Playing Card Company, Cincinnati, U.S.A." Joker is a winged devil with pitchfork. Back design is a center medallion with four Asian faces wearing caps, all within a snowflake pattern, and comical faces appear in the four corners, printed in green. Cards and box in generally fine condition. Dawson, 208, T11.
