1876 Mauger Centennial Playing Cards

Victor E. Mauger was an English-born businessman who moved to New York in 1855 and began importing metal goods. Around 1870, he expanded into importing playing cards from Chas. Goodall & Son, which made distinctive decks for the American market. By 1873, due to high import taxes, he stopped importing and began producing his own playing cards instead.

His first, the Centennial Exposition Deck is thought to be the first deck to commemorate a fair. They were made in conjunction with the world's fair in Philadelphia.

The deck also commemorates the 100 year anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence.
