1914 Playing Cards and Violins Calendar
An original 1914 calendar featuring a clever rebus message from violinist W. F. Dugan spelled out in words and hands of playing cards. "The [King of Hearts] of Violinists / Work [straight], not a [four-flush]er / And sure fire / whether I work to [pairs] or [full houses] / I read the [Queen]'s and [King]'s thoughts in music [...] -in-and-write-me." This inspirational message is described as an "Inspirito Violinae." 7.25 x 9.5 inches."Four-flusher," a folksy American idiom derived from poker terminology, refers to a person who is known for bluffing.
