Adolph Wulff Kort No.70
Playing cards for Denmark made by C.L. Wüst
A rather beautiful and scarce pack of Art Nouveau style playing cards made for the Danish company of Adolph Wulff of Copenhagen in about 1900. The tax stamp on the Ace of Diamonds was used between 1890 and about 1918. The cards were designed by Hans Nikolaj Hansen with gold details and were printed by C.L. Wüst of Frankfurt, Germany. Wüst produced several other packs for Adolph Wulff. The card in the place of the Ace of hearts is the reverse side of the cards.

I'm British but I have now lived in the Netherlands for more than 50 years and am still enjoying every minute of it. I started collecting playing cards in the early 1980’s after speaking with my neighbour who was at that time a croupier in a casino. I started with just collecting jokers, but that soon led me to complete packs of cards and eventually to specialising in old and antique playing cards, particularly those of C.L. Wüst of Frankfurt, Germany. I am presently the Dutch representative of the I.P.C.S. and the auctioneer at the IPCS conventions.
