Believed to be probably of German manufacture, this deck has been printed from somewhat worn plates. Translucent playing cards became popular in mid-19th century France. Mainly created cheaply as novelties, few complete decks have survived. The cards were created from two layers, instead of the usual three, and appear as normal cards when simply viewed. The upper layer is printed with the traditional face design on the recto, and an additional erotic image on the verso, while the lower layer is blank. The lack of a third layer allows enough light to penetrate the card, when strongly backlit, to view the hidden images. On the court cards, the hidden images were designed to align with the court card image (see Denning, also Wowk, p.66).
