The 1947 double bridge deck set “Quick on the Draw” was not the biggest success of artist Joyce Ballantyne’s career; that honor would go to her painting of a three-year-old Coppertone girl and a small dog, one of the most famous advertising images of the 20th century. This Brown & Bigelow set with card-playing cowgirls sold in great numbers, though, which means there are many of them still around. (Some sources date the decks as late as 1953, but since there are calendar cards as early as 1947, that cannot be accurate.) This set is similar to the 1945 and 1946 sets of Earl MacPherson art, in that the ad copy is on the outside box, leaving the card backs as a full image, and that the joker has custom artwork and a saucy poem. The cowboy hat sticker on the box has a soft felt feel. (As with the listings of the earlier sets, each deck is delineated separately here to account for collectors who may have one surviving full deck but not the other.)
