The international pattern II - anon

International pattern,( anon) 52c. + 2 jokers (lost)
Now, we shall now come towards the second part of our series on the international pattern ( the first part is at http://anthonylesq.blogspot.com/2012/03/international-pattern-part-i.html), in which we shall see another variant of this pattern, by a unknown ( east asian?) maker

Note the following variations from the waddingtons deck ( http://anthonylesq.blogspot.com/2012/03/international-pattern-part-i.html)

I the court cards have been simplified somewhat
II only three colurs have been used- Red, black, and yellow. This is presumabably for reasins of economy
III the indexes are in only 2 corners, probably for the reason stated above.

The International pattern part I - waddingtons

It can be said that the international pattern is the most commonly used type of playing card today. The pattern itself is a version of the cards that were [and still are] used in england today.
In this article, and those that follow it, I shall showcase some versions of this pattern, and compare them.
The first deck , (which we shall compre all the other decks with) is made by Waddingtons.

"Number 1" ( waddingtons) - 52c. + 2 jokers

The following deck very much speaks for itself. However, note the following features;
I - the cards are in the slim "bridge: format - ( 5.8 x 8.8 cm) , as opposed to the slightly wider "poker"format - ( 6.7 x 8.7 cm)
II- the cards are printed in 4 colors- Blue, Red, Yellow, and Black.
III-there are indexes in all 4 corners.
