The illustrations capture the fashionable social world surrounding Contract Bridge during the Art Deco era, including tuxedos, evening dresses, jewelry, cocktails and dramatically stylized figures. The three different bridge references make this an especially appealing set for a card room, game room, bar, library or Art Deco interior.

The prints retain strong, attractive period colors with some expected age-related toning and wear. The matching frames show vintage wear and patina consistent with age. The backs retain older board backing, finishing nails and wire hanging hardware. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition of the prints, frames, backing and hardware.

An unusual opportunity to acquire all three coordinating bridge scenes together, rather than an individual print.
