Non-Standard playing cards from The Netherlands

I am showing here an interesting non-standard pack printed in The Netherlands in about 1944. The maker has, up to now, remained anonymous.
The boldly coloured courts cards in red, yellow and blue seem to be loosely based on the standard English pattern, holding similar articles or flowers and in a similar profile. However, the jacks looked more like dressed up farming lads. The reverse shows a farming couple in the center with typical Dutch scenes in the corners. The aces all have a bird in flight at each corner, maybe reflecting the farming theme.

The pack is sometimes known as the Hasekamp pack because a version is known with advertising on the reverse for Hasekamp Jenever. Click here to view it.

A full pack consists of 52 cards, a bridge score card and a special joker playing the Lute, with a deer and flying birds in the background. The Hasekamp version was issued with 32 cards. This pack is quite hard to find, even in The Netherlands .

Below: the joker and two different back designs.
