?Black Crook? Boston Theatre Souvenir Playing Cards. Boston: George H. Walker & Co., ca. 1893. 52 + OB (worn). Eugene Tompkins issued this pack on Sept. 28, 1893 in honor of the one hundredth performance of this successful production. Original designs for the courts, which portray characters from the play in costume. The cards are slightly longer and narrower than standard American decks of the period (3 ? x 2 ??). The box is printed paper over linen, also uncommon. Very good; light soiling. Hochman SE20.
