Tiffany & Co. Harlequin Transformation Playing Cards. New York, 1879. 52 + OB. Designed by C.E. Carryl. Transformation deck, pip cards with witty captions accompanying occupational, racial, and political designs; courts also humorously depicted: Jack of Clubs with a pug in the crook of his arm, smoking a cigar; King of Diamond plays a banjo; and the King of Spades is badly injured, in a cane, sling, and foot bandage. All gilt edges. Original box. Hochman T4. Beautifully printed, and regarded as the most artistic and skillful American transformation deck.
