These playing cards show

High Resolution JPEG Picture of These playing cards show in caricature a well-known person from around 1880, the Victorian era in Great Britain. The characters who are lampooned and the dated style of the illustrations suggest that they were drawn in around 1880. In this case the character is Prince Bismarck of Germany, and he is shown as a cockerel. Prince Bismarck (1815 - 1898) dominated German and European affairs from the 1860s until 1890. After engineering a series of wars in the 1860s, he diplomatically maintained peace over the followings twenty years. As such, he was a dominating presence in Europe, which explains why the words 'Cock of the walk' appear below his name. This game is attributed to games manufacturer Multum In Parvo ('much in a small space'). The company formed in the 1890s at 144 Falkland Road, Hornsey, London, N8. In 1931 the company was liquidated following almost continuous financial difficulties throughout the 1920s.
