- Abstract:
- A collection of pictorial conundrum cards from various unidentified sets of cards trimmed from larger sheets of etched images; also a single drawing signed "R. 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. Queen Victoria and Sir Edwin Eglinton (the Eglinton Tournament 1839) suggest the possible date of 1840
- Description:
- Title devised by cataloger., Each card shows an illustration and a query., Date range estimated base on pictorial images and design., and For further information, consult library staff.
