Now you can own one historic deck with pure confidence and having the luxury of displaying a historic time piece that's authentic. HISTORIC DETAILS: This Historic depict persons of foreign heritage in an uncomplimentary manner. Possibly made during a time of segregation, the set was presumably seen as humorous and socially acceptable in those days.

The imagery of watermelons and flamboyant dress provides documentary evidence of popular culture, social history, stereotypes, ethnicity and national identity from that time and also illustrates how attitudes have changed. Laughter and ridicule prevailed in the post-Civil War period and the first half of the twentieth century.

These attitudes became embedded in the media artifacts of the time. In the early part of the twentieth century the desire to make insulting fun of black people was expressed by the so-called "coon card" craze. In addition to demonstrating historical change, this material can reinforce a more positive concept of multicultural society today. This is a true piece of gaming history as each deck does tell a story and also proves that owning such a magnificent artifact is truly remarkable for any collector! This spectacular investment example is only one reason why to own such a piece that's rich in US card history.
