These playing cards show in caricature a well-known person from 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 Benjamin Disraeli, prominent politician and favourite of Queen Victoria. Benjamin Disraeli (1804 – 1881). Professor of the difficult art of how to do nothing. Disraeli first became Prime Minister of his own government in 1868. The caption may refer to the time before 1880 when Disraeli angered farmers by refusing to reinstate the Corn Laws, despite poor harvests. 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.

This is the original Joker playing card from the 'Shakespeare' 1895 deck, produced by Bernhard Dondorf in Germany for the London company C. W. Faulkner & Co. This card shows the Joker riding on the back of a donkey. Curiously, the quotation at the bottom 'Laugh and the world laughs with you' is not from Shakespeare, but from (Solitude) by 19th century poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox. After 1902, this deck was published by Dondorf with different Jokers and plain Aces of Spades as 'No 192'. C. W. Faulkner and Co. operated from Golden Lane in London, EC1. From 1882 they worked as lithographers, and also printed in gravure. Their best-quality playing cards were those printed in Germany, some by Dondorf, prior to the First World War. C. W. Faulkner and Co. were best known for their postcards and greetings cards, including Misfitz, which they produced until about 1920. The company closed in 1956.
