Exquisite Conversation Cards, 1830-1850
01
Artifact Overview
Conversation cards, usually made for adult partygoers, consist of question and answer cards. Couples choose cards; one reads a random question card, the other a random answer card. The answer, when read, could start conversations or produce laughter at the nonsensical response. This set was made by Fisher and Brother in the mid-1800s.
