New York Public Library - Engineering Playing Cards

Postby JamesPhysit » Jun 10th, '06, 01:25



I don't know if this has been posted before (a search found nothing), but here is a archive of old engineering playing cards hosted by the New York Public Library: NYPL Website

These cards are from 1702, from the William Barclay Parsons collection.

Just stunning, especially since these are hand made (9x6cm in size).
