Judging from 18th-century letters and inventories, Colonial Williamsburg's citizens spent a lot of time at the card table. Williamsburg tavern keepers bought as many as six dozen packs at a time from the Printing Office. Playing cards were imported from England and printed on heavy paper with woodblocks. Face cards were handpainted, and the backs were left plain. The Great Mogul cards are based on a deck made by I. Hardy in England 1765. An original resides in a museum at Colonial Williamsburg.
