[SOCIALISM]. Socialist Playing Cards. Chicago: Charles H. Kerr & Co., 1908. 52 + J + title card. Each card has a rhyme, and the 12 courts are all original caricature satires of capitalists and monopolists, judges, the military, and police. Pip cards bear rhymes on the struggles of various working class occupations (miner, carpenter, farmer, baker, clerk, stenographer, and others) under the capitalist system. But the deck offers some hope on the Aces, which bear rhymes on the ?trump? or triumph of the Socialist Party and the working class. Some ink transfer from backs to faces, a few minor bumps and tears, otherwise good. Hochman P21. RARE.
