This pokers top hand

High Resolution JPEG Picture of This is how poker's top hand might have looked, a royal straight flush (in clubs), in 1864. The cards were printed by Thomas de la Rue in London. Because the look of the faces on the court cards harked back to earlier designs, this pack was not popular and was soon withdrawn from sale. The cards are 62mm x 88mm in size, and they have no indices (no letters or numbers at the top and bottom). Another characteristic of cards of this age is that, on the court cards, the suit symbol is sometimes on the right (as in the Jack and Queen), and sometimes on the left (as in the King). Thomas de la Rue was born in Le Bourg, Guernsey, in 1793. Here he gained his knowledge of printing from his father, before moving to London in 1818. By 1853, the author Charles Dickens was praising the company for its fine work, in an article titled (A Pack Of Cards). Thomas de la Rue became known as 'the father of the English playing card'.
