[PLAYING CARDS] Nine Hand-Painted Transformation Cards. Early nineteenth century watercolors on stiff stock, each being a ?transformed? card from a pack, being satirical images of tradesmen, boxers, a tailor, a choir master and his acolytes, a scene incorporating the Taj Mahal in the background, cleverly incorporating the pips of various cards into their designs. Represented are the Two, Three, and Six of Hearts, the Ace of Clubs, and the Two, Three, Six and Seven of Diamonds, the latter with two distinct designs. Each image signed with the initials ?W.H.? 3 ? x 2 ?? each, mounted to an album page.
