18th Century Colonial Playing Cards

This reproduction deck of 18-century 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ cards, printed on matte, heavy-weight, aged card stock, includes 52 four-suited playing cards. The card backs are blank as they were until the 19th century when Thomas DeLa Rue & Co. introduced the printed back to discourage poker players from “marking the cards”.
