Additional Details

A fine example of this classic deck of playing cards illustrated with images of black people that for the most part does not exaggerate or demean them. While there is a fair amount of stereotyping with the ubiquitous watermelon poses, the majority of the images are reasonably friendly, showing white and black children together, people at work, at the beach, etc.
