CARD, BRIDGE

Description: BRIDGE TALLY CARDS HAVE ON THEIR FRONT FACES, AN IMAGE OF A GENTLEMAN AND LADY ON A PICTURESQUE SCENE THAT LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WOULD BE FROM THE MID 1800'S JUDGING BY FASHION OF DRESS. THIS PICTURE IS SURROUNDED BY AN ORNATE BORDER. ON THE BACK OF THE CARD, AT THE TOP THERE IS AN IDENTIFYING MARK THAT IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ON EACH CARD. THE TEXT READS, "GENTLEMAN NO. 1", AND ASCENDS UP TO "GENTLEMAN NO. 8" SIMILARLY MARKED RED CARDS READ "LADY NO.1" AND GO TO "LADY NO.8". UNDER THIS TEXT, ON ALL CARDS THERE IS AN IDENTICAL SCORE KEEPING CHART WITH A PLACE FOR THE 'NAME' OF THE PLAYER AT THE BOTTOM. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CARDS IN THE STACK. ONE, IS A SORT OF TITLE CARD WHICH HAS ON IT THE WRITING "IDEAL BRIDGE TALLY", "4 TABLE MIXED". THE OTHER, IS AN INSTRUCTIONAL PAMPHLET WHICH COVERS THE ADVANTAGES OF USING THIS SYSTEM OF PLAY.
