Snake

from The Game of Hope, c. 1799

Die Schlange. A blue-green snake winds around a shattered tree stump on a grassy mound. Insets: queen of clubs, with the German Ober of acorns standing in on the left. Deceit and a rival in later reading; the broken stump is this pack's own touch, dropped from most later versions.
