DATE: New York, 1886, published by D. Appleton.
An original etching by L.J. Rajan after the painting by J. L. Meissonier. ''Of the two card-players, one is certainly at fault as to the next move of his hand, and his adversary watches him intently, though we would wager that he is already master of the game. Their comrades are interested in the position of affairs, and look earnestly for the result. The group is most effectively composed, with a capital arrangement of light and shade; the faces of the men, minute as they are, are full of expression'' (The Art Journal, Vol. 39, p. 212).
Image size is approximately 5 1/8 x 6 7/8 inches.
