Wonderful deck of skat playing cards, made c.1978 by Coeur on the occasion of the East German premiere of the musical, “Kretschinskis Hochzeit,” translated “Kretschinski’s Wedding” in English. “Kretschinski’s Wedding” was originally a Russian play.
The play was made into several movies, and also was apparently presented as a musical in 1978. These cards were made to accompany the East German premiere of the musical, and they feature the engaging artwork of Hans Klaus Segner.
