Ck." suggesting it is his work on the largest set (incomplete) of 19 cards. The other four sets, also incomplete, are grouped by the similarity in style and letterforms. All cards contain a humorously named person with an image and a riddle. Presumably the sheet from which these images were cut contained the answers to the riddles.
