JEU DES 7 FAMILLES, FAMILLE “BALLON” LE BASKET-BALL, MAKER UNKNOWN (FRANCE)
The game of 7 families is a card game with simple rules, involving memory and observation. It is played with a deck of 42 cards, divided into 7 families of 6 cards each. This particular basketball card was in a family set named Ballon (Ball) with artwork done by known French artist Jean Brian, whose signature appeared on one card in each family (The Football example shown here). The maker of this set and exact year of release is unknown but assumed to be sometime in the 1950s when compared to other 7 family card games. I have not found another example of this particular set or card.
