Yachting in the Mediterranean (by J.L. Stewart) Playing Cards

This design features a painting by the American artist Julius LeBlanc Stewart (1855—1919). It shows a group of fashionable and elegant tourists enjoying themselves on a luxury yacht that is sailing on the Mediterranean Sea. Some women are standing on the top deck and admiring the view. There is a gentleman below using binoculars to look for land in the distance. There is a seated woman holding a parasol to protect herself from the sun, and she is talking to a standing woman. The women are wearing elegant dresses and the men are wearing suits. There are also some sailors steering and maintaining the vessel. The original artwork was painted by Julius LeBlanc Stewart in 1896.
