“Peter Rabbit Rummy,” published by E. E. Fairchild, encouraged players to collect incidents from the story of Peter Rabbit into sets. As the instructions helpfully point out, “For the story of Peter Rabbit, read the cards in sequence from 1 to 10.” There’s no date, but I’d guess they were done in the 1950s. The oddly naive artwork seems to be rendered with colored pencils, which is a nice touch.

    That is stunning! It looks earlier than 1950’s to me.

    It could be. There’s no date on it.
