High Resolution JPEG Picture of This picture shows playing cards from the three suits of a China Chi Chi Pai playing card deck from 1890. These particular cards represent the 'four' of each suit. The writing on the wrapping includes these words: HANDELSVEREENIGING HARMSEN VERWEY & DUNLOP JAVA - SUMATRA - CELEBES This text identifies a trading company working in Indonesia / the Dutch East Indies. There are 60 cards in the deck, comprising two sets of the same 30 designs. The three 'money' suits are shown here in the following order, left to right: Coins (single coins); Strings (strings of 1000 coins); Myriads (100,000 coins). Shown in this illustration is the number four of each suit. In addition to the 1 to 9 of each suit, there are three Honour cards: White Flower, Red Flower and Old Thousand. The game played with these cards requires two full decks, 120 cards in all. The game itself resembled rummy, making up 'runs' of three cards of the same denomination (regardless of suit).
