Reynolds & Sons “Alfred Crowquill” Playing Cards. London, ca. 1850. 52/52. Very good. Lightly soiled but no cards bent or torn. Crowquill was the pseudonym taken by Alfred Henry Forrester after the death of his brother. It can be considered a transformation deck but a highly unusual one as the transformation takes place inside of each individual pip. Every pip has a funny face drawn inside. The courts are all caricatures, perhaps political in nature.
