EDITORS COMMENTS
This sheet of playing cards, titled "Jeu de drapeaux" or the "Game of Flags," dates back to approximately 1800. The unique design showcases soldiers representing the nations of France, Germany, Great Britain, and Russia, each bearing flags that display both the cards' suit and rank. The intricate illustrations on these cards offer a glimpse into the military uniforms and insignia of the late 18th century. The French soldier wears a blue coat with red lapels and a tricorn hat adorned with a rooster crest. The German soldier dons a green jacket, red waistcoat, and a helmet with a black eagle crest. The British soldier is depicted in a red coat, white waistcoat, and a tall, bearskin-topped shako hat. The Russian soldier is illustrated in a green tunic, white trousers, and a fur hat with a double-headed eagle crest. The flags themselves are a fascinating blend of heraldry and playing card symbols. The French flag displays a fleur-de-lis, the German flag bears an oak leaf and acorn, the British flag shows a lion and the Union Jack, and the Russian flag is adorned with a double-headed eagle. These beautifully detailed playing cards offer an intriguing combination of military history and card game design, making them a captivating collectible item for history enthusiasts and card game aficionados alike.
