We have another “Authors” deck, rather battered, as you can see. It’s incomplete, with no indication of date or publisher. The Winston Churchill pictured here is not the British one who became Prime Minister, but an American writer, who retired in 1919.

The deck has an unusual pantheon. In addition to Winston, we have William Dean Howells, Cyrus Townsend Brady, James Bryce, Mark Twain, Booth Tarkington, Ernest Thompson Seton, Sam Walter Foss, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Jack London.
