Talk of Uncle George to his nephew about draw poker : containing valuable suggestions in connection with this great American game : also, instruction and directions to clubs and social card parties, whose members play only for recreation and pastime : with timely warnings to young players.
A late nineteenth-century American instruction book by Uncle George, published in New York by Dick & Fitzgerald around 1883, written as advice from an uncle to a nephew on draw poker, intended for clubs and social card parties playing for recreation. Its pictures are pen-and-ink line drawings of men seated at card tables, some rotated sideways on the page, with a few showing a player shuffling cards at a table with a lamp and a bottle, offering a designer period-style gentlemen and card-table vignettes with cross-hatched shading.
