Naipes No. 71 Los Leones
|
Based on the Spanish Cádiz pattern, and including the inscription 'AHI VA' on the cavalier of cups, decks like this were manufactured primarily for Spanish speaking inhabitants or immigrants of U.S., rather than for exportation to Latin America, during the 19th and early 20th centuries. In any event, Spanish models of the day were closely imitated, often including the trade marks. See also Belgian-made Cádiz type cards. |
