Rider

from The Game of Hope, c. 1799

Der Reiter. A rider in a red coat reins in a rearing horse and cracks a whip overhead. Insets: the nine of hearts, drawn twice, once as a Bavarian German-suited card and once in French suits; every card in the pack carries both, so it could double as an ordinary 36-card deck for either system. Read as news on its way.
