Netherlands Translucent Erotic Playing Cards LATE 20TH CENTURY REPRODUCTION.

Netherlands Translucent Erotic Playing Cards LATE 20TH CENTURY REPRODUCTION. Beidermeier erotic translucent cards - vintage 1979 facsimile playing cards Almost impossible to find. It appears to be an ordinary pack of cards from France but when each of the 52 cards are held to the light they reveal explicit erotic scenes. These are reproductions of cards produced c1840 to 1860 in France and have been faithfully copied to the originals. Produced by Peter Mefferdt (Harry Kenter) Amsterdam 1979. An excellent reproduction of the original Beidermeier 1880 packs in a nice box. Quaint non-vulgar explicit erotic scenes when held to light. 52 cards complete as per original deck. Back of cards are plain cream/white color. Looking from our age of Internet-facilitated sexual freedom of expression these mid-nineteenth century French erotic playing cards were no doubt aimed to titillate if not actively arouse the libidinal forces of nature. On the other hand, they might be offensive to some viewers, even today. Very scarce and unique.
