Playing Cards, 19th Century
Entitled: "Mrs. Cox, Miss Townsend, Mrs. Rowland, Mrs. Phills playing cards at 1st falls of Socateau River, Maine." A card game is any game using playing cards as the primary device with which the game is played, be they traditional or game-specific. Countless card games exist, including families of related games. A small number of card games played with traditional decks have formally standardized rules, but most are folk games whose rules vary by region, culture, and person. Photographed by Joseph John Kirkbride, circa 1884-91.
