This is a card from a card game, created by an unknown artist around 1835. The card depicts a simple design with the word "Bücher" (German for "Books") written at the top, followed by "Livres" (French for "Books") and the number "8". The card also indicates two units of currency - "Marken" and "Jetons" - suggesting this game was for trading or betting. The simple design reflects the functional nature of the card and its use in a game.
