| Comments: |
As can be seen, this card comprises a woven padded cushion with silk fringe, and with printed cards attached to the front and back. Both cards have the printed " T.S. " initials of Thomas Stevens, and both have printed numbers, 604 on the front and 614 on the back.
At one time it was assumed the number printed on the card defined the card design. However, these numbers are repeated on multiple different designs, so the relevance of the number is hence unknown (unless perhaps it is a short hand for the artist/designer, rather than the design, for such as royalty payments).
