From Wikipedia: (Russian Playing Cards) "The end of the 19th and the beginning of 20th knew the rising interest to the old pre-Petrine Russian traditions (see also Russian Revival architecture), this fashion was even more intensified due to the 300th anniversary of the house of Romanovs in 1913. As a result, in 1911 the particular ca...rd design in the "Russian style" (Russian: колода «Русский стиль») was created. The costumes of the face cards imitated the historical 17th century Russian costumes of the famous 1903 Ball in the Winter Palace."
Cards are in excellent shape for their age and will make a great addition to anyone's colllection.
