Fin de Siècle Poker – Pocket Guide with Caricatures of Jews – New York, 1895
Fin de siècle poker, with portraits of famous players. New-York: Metropolitan, 1895. English.
Pocket guide with advice and rules of thumb for poker players, with an illustration representing the amateur poker player – Pat Straight – followed by sixteen illustrations of fictional poker champions, most of them with stereotypical Jewish names and features: Dovid Bloom of Kansas City, Boomele Levy of St. Louis, Loompe Meyer of Baltimore and others. The introduction to the guide states "The illustrations in this work are not intended to be offensive. They are neither real nor even ideal; they are not of the type professional, or can they be said to correctly represent the amateur. They are simply productions of 'mythical Athletes of Pokerdom', sketched in Dreamland".
The guide ends with leaves for recording poker games results (some of them filled-in).
[17] leaves with text and illustrations and [6] leaves for recording results, 11.5 cm. Rebound with the original cover. Body in good condition, with minor blemishes to margins of several leaves. The original cover in fair-poor condition, with abrasions and long tears, some reinforced with tape.
Rare. One copy in OCLC.
