Wüst playing cards with International scenic aces

This time I have chosen a rather scarce non-standard deck made by Wüst with wonderful colourful views of different cities throughout the world. It is almost certain that Wüst had agencies representing them in the shown cities, so maybe this pack was produced to proudly show off the international influence of the company. Whatever the reason, this pack seems to be extremely rare. The court cards are exorbitantly dressed, especially the queens, and are in many ways similar to Patience No.204 which was also made by Wüst, possibly from the same designer. There are 32 cards in a standard Wüst box. It is one of the few packs which does not show the 6-pointed star logo on the jack of clubs. The aces depict views from Stockholm, Havanna, Naples, Capetown, New York, Constantinople, Hamburg and Rio de Janeiro.
