Samuel Hart Illuminated Deck of Playing Cards. New York: Samuel Hart & Co., ca. 1860. 52 + OB. The first of Hart's illuminated decks featuring a heavily gilded ace of spades and newly designed elaborated courts with heavy gilding. Unlike the deck in Hochman's Encyclopedia this one has round corners and the address is 560 Broadway, not 580 Broadway. Rarely found with the original box as here. Very good. Hoch. NY31.
