DescriptionA picture deck of 54 cards, each with 6 slots around the edges. Each card has a different image from the animal, mineral, and vegetable kingdoms on one side (both closeup views and still lifes). The other side has an asterisk that is now used as the current Eames Office Logo. The images were selected by the Eames design duo of Charles Eames and his wife Ray.
