Ups & Downs

A. N. Myers & Co (1865-1899) were publishers of popular card games during the 19th century, often manufactured in Germany with high quality litho printing. Titles include: Cock-a-doodle-doo, Struwwelpeter, Natural History Dominoes and Ups & Downs. Each card contains humorous verse which builds into an illustrated story when the cards are laid in correct sequence as a complete set. Each set is identified by a symbol at the lower left-hand corner.

Above: cards from “Ups and Downs” published in UK by A. N. Myers, c.1885. Printed in Germany (possibly by Adolf Sala or Dondorf). 48 picture cards (twelve sets of four) in box + rules. Plain backs.
