Poker Rubaiyat,

La Shelle, Kirke, Frederic W. Goudy Collection (Library of Congress) · 1903 · [Phœnix, Ariz., 1903] · 26 pictures

Poker Rubaiyat is a 1903 Arizona-published humorous verse book by Kirke La Shelle, preserved in the Frederic W. Goudy Collection at the Library of Congress, apparently aimed at card-playing readers. Its pictures are bold, flat woodcut-style prints in red, black, green and yellow, pairing playing-card court figures and suits with large single letters, a device a designer could borrow for graphic play with type and card motifs.
