AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Whist deck consists of 52 cards. Made around 1924; see tax stamp (St.St.) No. 90 for the Altenburg stamping office.
These special Art Nouveau playing cards (‘Art Nouveau’) were designed by Otto Tragy and first published by the Altenburg-based Altenburger Spielkartenfabrik Schneider & Co. around 1898. The cards were well received and were therefore produced as ‘Whist No. 260’ and ‘Patience No. 265’.
Tragy mainly created portraits, genre and still-life paintings, but also ex libris, posters and sketches for decorative purposes.

Otto Tragy designed in 1898 for the Altenburg-based Schneider & Co. a set of Art Nouveau playing cards for the Altenburger Spielkartenfabrik Schneider & Co.
