About the Item
A charming set of eight HBCM, Hippolyte Boulenger Creil Montereau Playing Card Faience Plates- France, circa 1920s.

Lady of Trefle and her money, she sits in the cafe, singing.
The trooper is the King OF Carreau, carrying cheerfully the backpack.
The clown is the Valet de Trefles, kicks, receives medlars.
The good king Dagobert, to the gummers, cast a winning eye.
The pretty Lady of Hearts, Put her panties upside down.
In 1920, the Creil-Montereau group was taken over by Hippolyte Boulenger, marking with the initials HBCM (Hippolyte Boulenger-Creil-Montereau).
