Piatnik, in Vienna, was responsible for this “Black Peter” deck. Black Peter accompanies St. Nicholas at Christmas; the card game is similar to “Old Maid,” with Peter as the jinx. He was once represented as an African in colorful silk, but is now usually seen as a chimney sweep. In this animal themed deck, he’s a black cat.
