This 18th-century playing card, titled "F.e d' l'Isle Sandwick", depicts a figure wearing a garland, a blue cloak, and a yellow and red skirt, standing on a rock. This card, part of the "Jeu d'Or", is a unique example of 18th-century playing cards. The card's design likely reflects the prevailing European interest in exotic cultures. The "Isle Sandwick" is likely a reference to the Sandwich Islands, now known as Hawaii, which were a popular topic of exploration and fascination during this period.
