EDITORS COMMENTS
This score card for Progressive Whist, a popular 19th century card game, showcases the elegant and refined design of the Classical Lady scorecard by Terry Parker. The scorecard, which is part of a larger set, features a graceful woman dressed in a flowing gown, holding out a bouquet of flowers and gazing off into the distance. The classical lady's dress is adorned with intricate patterns and ruffles, adding to the overall sense of opulence and sophistication. The card suits - hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds - are artfully arranged around the lady, each represented by a symbolic figure: a heart with an arrow, a club with a crown, a spade with a pike, and a diamond with a star. The suits are arranged in a circular pattern, with the lady at the center, creating a visually pleasing and harmonious composition. The Progressive Whist game, which was popular in the Victorian era, was a variation of the traditional Whist card game. The objective of Progressive Whist was to take tricks in a specific order, with each trick building upon the previous one. The scorecard was used to keep track of the points earned by each player during the game. This beautifully designed scorecard is a testament to the attention to detail and artistic craftsmanship of the past. The intricate design, combined with the historical significance of the Progressive Whist game, makes this scorecard a valuable addition to any collection of antique card game memorabilia or vintage design enthusiasts.
