I believe this is the 1876 version of The Game of Nations” published by McLoughlin Brothers, but I haven’t been able to find photos of the different editions. I would to learn more about the deck. It’s the first, and probably oldest, of card decks that my mother kept from her childhood that I’m trying to learn more about. She was born in 1930, but raised by her grandparents, so one of them was likely the original owner of the cards.
Thank you for any information you can give me.
