                  <text>In 1856, a hot new item hit the shelves in Russia: a set of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a data-size="medium" data-align="right" data-caption="description" data-annotations="" resource="yaroslav-province" href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/imperiia/original/3159934d76f3c41fb9190281e87d6db9.jpg" class="media_link texteo_icon texteo_icon_image"&gt;playing cards&lt;/a&gt;. Created by Konstantin Matveevich Gribanov, the set had an impressive title:&#13;
&lt;div&gt;&#13;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Album of Geographical Playing Cards of Russia, arranged on 80 cards according to maritime basin (A wonderful and instructive child's game of patience)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;/div&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As you can imagine, these were not your ordinary playing cards&lt;/strong&gt;. They were elaborately illustrated, beautifully-produced, and&amp;nbsp;laden with pedagogical and ideological value. If you had money to spare and fancied yourself an educated, elite, or prestige-hungry subject of the tsar, you no doubt found a way to get your hands on a set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We think you should play with these cards.&lt;/strong&gt; We think the chances are good that you will learn as much from them as we have. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't read Russian?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we have translated the content.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't know where any of these places are?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we made maps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't know what questions to ask?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we took care of that, too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

Created by Konstantin Matveevich Gribanov, the set had an impressive title:&#13;
&lt;div&gt;&#13;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Album of Geographical Playing Cards of Russia, arranged on 80 cards according to maritime basin (A wonderful and instructive child's game of patience)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;/div&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As you can imagine, these were not your ordinary playing cards&lt;/strong&gt;. They were elaborately illustrated, beautifully-produced, and&amp;nbsp;laden with pedagogical and ideological value. If you had money to spare and fancied yourself an educated, elite, or prestige-hungry subject of the tsar, you no doubt found a way to get your hands on a set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We think you should play with these cards.&lt;/strong&gt; We think the chances are good that you will learn as much from them as we have. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't read Russian?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we have translated the content.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't know where any of these places are?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we made maps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You don't know what questions to ask?&lt;/strong&gt; No problem, we took care of that, too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
