18th century, French hand-colored, hand-cut engraved playing card from the collection of Stephen Sondheim

A beautiful, framed engraving perfect for a tablescape, shelf or hanging on a wall. Frame is 5"x6.5." I have been unable to identify the game it belonged to, but other card images include fantasy buildings, ships, furniture, people and numbers. This lovely fantasy building stands on its own as a testament to Sondheim's love for games and appreciation of antiques. It will bring a touch of elegance to wherever you place it in your home. The card would also make a lovely gift for a Sondheim fan. The card (not frame) was included in lot 121 sold by Doyle on November 14, 2024, as part of the Sondheim collection. It will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity identifying its lot and sale date.
