Trade cards from the "Playing Cards" series (N84), issued in a set of 53 cards in 1888 to promote Turkish Cross-Cut Cigarettes produced by W. Duke Sons & Co. The versos across the set display a matching abstract floral pattern. The Joker advertises Duke brand cigarettes and the Ace of Spades displays an ad for Turkish Cross-Cut Cigarettes. Besides Turkish Cross-Cut, a version of the same set of playing cards was also released to promote the overall W. Duke Sons & Co. brand.
