German patriotic playing cards from the First World War (1914/1918)
Very good condition, without tears, scribbles, stains or missing items.
During the First World War, the FA Lattmann company in Goslar (Lower Saxony) published two war games, the Patriotic Playing Cards (dated 1914). These cards here were designed by J.Schonfelder. The manufacturer's mark is visible on the base of the glans, the name on the base of the bell. The kings are Wilhelm II of Württemberg (acorn), Ludwig III of Bavaria (leaf), Kaiser Wilhelm II of Prussia (heart) and Friedrich August III of Saxony (bells). The Ober (O) and Unter (U) are soldiers from different services (not just the army, as the name of the game suggests). The numbered cards show military scenes and the coats of arms of the German states. On the back are imperial eagles and iron crosses, with a large iron cross in the center.
