[WESTERN]. Apache Cards on Rawhide, Arizona, circa 1876. 13 of 40 cards, includes thirteen cards of a Monte pack (includes caballo, sota and 6 of swords, caballo, sota, 2 and ace of clubs, caballo, 7, 6 and ace of cups, and rey and 7 of coins). The cards are unique in that they are sketched in a brown-black paint with no additional color. The symbols for swords, clubs and coins are minimal, only the cup symbol is more detailed being reminiscent of the Spanish covered goblet employing the common Apache style of one triangle balanced on the point of another triangle, except on the caballo where the triangles are point to point. The riders on horses are drawn from the Southwest with Mexican hats and cape-like serapes. On the back of the 7 of cups is a notation in brownish black ink stating "Playing Cards Apaches of Arizona Dr. J. B. White USA." plus a pencil notation "13 pieces A'L." J. B. White is likely the individual who sent a pack of Apache cards to the Smithsonian Institution in 1876, they were given inventory number 21550 and were related to accession number 4869. Subsequently, 25 of the cards forming this pack found their way in 1909 as part of the Thomas B. Donaldson Collection at the Museum of American Indian in New York, number 2/3350, and two cards remain missing. Size (varies) 3 in. (7.7 cm.) high, 1 7/8 in. (4.7 cm.) wide. The rawhide has aged into a deep grayish tan, card edges show wear, the caballo of clubs has minor losses at the bottom.
