"No Game," from the *Talk of the Diamond* set, is a humorous illustration from 1888 depicting a hunter who has been unsuccessful in his pursuit. The illustration portrays a hunter seated with his dog, while a man in the background exclaims, "No Game!" The humorous imagery evokes a sense of lightheartedness and perhaps a bit of self-deprecation. This is one of 50 cards in the *Talk of the Diamond* set, issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co., a subsidiary of the American Tobacco Company. The card’s size, typical of the time, is 2 1/2 × 4 1/8 inches and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
