…Sooty and Sweep 1950’s “Snap” cards.



The game of Snap is one of the simplest of all card games, and can be played with an ordinary set of playing cards, or with specially designed cards, like these well-thumbed examples from the 1950's aimed at children

But in this computer age, do children still play Snap? 

Who could not be charmed by the wonderful images on these cards? Sooty doing magic tricks. Sooty and Sweep baking a cake. Sooty and Sweep driving a train. Sooty bashing Sweep over the head with a hammer. Pardon??
