Cincinnati: The Cincinnati Game Co, 1908. NA. Very Good. A complete deck, with 53 cards, with actors pictured on cards including William Gillette, E. A. Sothern, Alla Nazimova, Ellen Terry, Julia Marlowe, Anna Held, George M. Cohan, Eddie Foy, William Gilette, Lillian Russell, Tyrone Power, Sr., Blanche Ring, Maxine Elliot, etc. etc. Portraits, with their signature, are on every playing card, including cards for 2 to 10. Decorative touches on the cards are pure Art Nouveau! The cards, or some of them, were obviously once pasted into an album, and evidence of this is sometimes present on the card backs. We have the full deck, nonetheless. We don't have the box which we assume would have contained the cards when they were first sold.
