Four beautifully illustrated bridge score cards that, when put together, create a delightful vista using Held’s iconic caricatures to create a tableau of the country club scene - golf, tennis and yes nothing less than a Roll Royce. Each card is 2 x 5 inches, the complete scene 8 x 5. VERY RARE.
On the back, players could note the table number, couple number, and keep a running tally while playing bridge.
John Held, Jr., the King of Jazz Age Illustration was a frequent contributor to The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Life, Harper's Bazaar, Redbook and other popular magazines. One of America's top cartoonists in the 1920s and 1930s, his immediately recognizable iconic figures including flapper girls and guys were a tremendous sensation and came to visually epitomize the roaring 20s. Among his many works was a significant series of travel posters and accompanying brochures/timetables.
