It’s Friday; it’s time to relax after that taxing week. Ullage your beverage, and cast your connoisseur’s eye on another specimen of that most overlooked field of graphic design, the kiddie card.
We have another “Old Maid” deck, this time a 1935 “Big-Little Card Game” from Russell. The pairs in this version, are, curiously, a mix of alliterative children (Hasty Horace, Sally Scrub) and Mother Goose characters (Old King Cole, Miss Muffett). I’ve chosen Dan Daub — no doubt an idealized self-portrait of the unknown artist.
And here’s the Old Maid as well.

The Old Maid looks retty damn happy! And not so old. DD does look a bit like Jackson Pollack.

I agree, she’s quite an attractive lady. She looks great in red, clearly must read a lot, and she knits!
Dan Daub’s idealized self-portrait is adorable.
