[CURIOSA]. Game of cards. Paris : Martinenq, circa 1900 - 29 cards (out of 32 ?), 87 x 52, in a box and illustrated slipcase. A set of so-called "transparent cards", each one effectively revealing a female nude by transparency. Each card has a gold border and 28 have red clovers and squares at the corners, each arranged differently. This copy has 29 cards, certainly out of 32. There also seem to be sets of 16 and 48 cards with the same patterns. This one is complete with its original box and case, the latter illustrated with two female nude figures, which are two examples of illustrations found in transparency. The case is complete but loose on one side. The cards are perfectly preserved.
