William tell pack playing

High Resolution JPEG Picture of The William Tell pack of playing cards is also known as the Hungarian deck. To avoid government censorship, Hungarian card manufacturers chose to base this design on the well-known Swiss legend, featuring characters from the William Tell story. This pack also has the name Four Seasons, because the Aces (actually they are two's, but they act as Aces) represent each of the four seasons. This image is one of a 'spot the difference' series that allows close comparison between the cards from an 1890 deck, printed in Hungary (left); and a 1910 Austrian deck, printed in Vienna (right). The card backs (shown here) are similar only in size (about 80 x 118mm), but other cards bear a close resemblance to each other. The card symbols follow the German tradition of bells, hearts, acorns and leaves. Here is a comparison between terminology in Hungarian and in German. German 'bells' become Hungarian 'pumpkins'. Hungarian: T÷k (pumpkin); German: Schellen (bells) Hungarian: Piros (red); German: Herz (heart Rot (red) Hungarian: Makk (acorn); German: Eichel (acorn) Hungarian: Z÷ld (green); German: Laub (leaves), Gr³n (green).
