A set of 36 playing-cards, miniature drawings, lithographed in an edition of 31 copies. Each set has cards of each colour from 6 up to the aces. All cards are printed on both sides of two sheets of cardboard. One sheet has the red colour cards, hearts and diamonds, on one side and a three colour ornamental reverse side. The other sheet has the same ornamental reverse side but the front side is printed in black for clubs and spades. All red and black images were done by brush. A second version is known in which the 7 of hearts was added to a small number of sets. The cards are kept in a lithographed cardboard box. Each set includes a booklet.
