Description: | A pack of Trafalgar centenary playing cards with a portrait of Nelson. They have gilt edges and gold borders and are contained in a white cardboard box. The backs are printed in colour with a design of a Nelson monument on the back : a coloured picture of the Battle of Trafalgar is on the plinth with a bust of Nelson in a hat above, accompanied by naval trophies and a laurel wreath. Oak leaves are shown in the background, the whole having a border of rope twist, with shells in the upper corners and dolphins in the lower corners. The legend inscribed across the bottom is 'HORATIO NELSON DIED OCT 21ST 1805'. That printed on the box reads 'The Trafalgar Centenary Playing Cards. Manufactured by Chas Goodall & Son Ltd, London.'
