[FORTUNE-TELLING]. Teuila Fortune Cards. [Teuila Card Co., ca. 1900s]. 35/35, plus a six-page explanatory booklet on how to use the cards to tell fortunes. Copyrighted in 1899 by Isobel Strong (1858?1953), the stepdaughter of Robert Louis Stevenson. Backs depict an islander fortune-teller. The deck was issued by USPC, but this early edition, published by Strong herself, is uncommon.
