Russie en Europe.
Book Description
Engraved playing card, with original hand-colour, with engraved place names in French in the lower part of the card. Dimensions: 115 by 65mm.
Dealer Notes
The card features a miniature map to its upper part with a key in French below with references to counties and towns.
In this card the suitmarks have been replaced by coloured squares and a number followed by a small square follows each title. According to Sylvia Mann and David Kingsley, following comparison with other sets, this number appears to be a measurement of the area of the region depicted, “possibly in German miles”.
