Samuel Hart Transformation Playing Cards. New York and Philadelphia: Samuel Hart & Co., ca. 1860. 52. This deck is copied from one published by Braun & Schneider (Munich) ten years earlier, but with several differences: the spade and club pips are brown; court cards are named king, queen and jack; and the Hart name is on the AS, JS and the QC. A later version by Hart was printed with the name removed from the AS and the JS but mistakenly remained on the QC. Faces lightly browned, possibly a feature of its original state. Very slight damage to a few cards but overall very good. Hoch. T2.
