Also, the total amount of cards after the preparation is mentioned: 30. But the letterpress small card "De rebus" is without its large counterpart. Comprising a.o.: "Een sukkel"; "Washington"; "" De ezeldrijver"; "De school"; "Jan-Slaapmuts"; "De courantlezer"; "Franklin" (on his kite-experiment); "De flaneur"; "Spoorweg-Kantoor".
