18th Century French hand-cut, hand-colored, 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 whimsical seacraft 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.
