The subject matter of the book is 179 pictures plus variants-paintings,
drawings, prints, and sculptures-from the years 1353 to 2000 that include trumps or
trumpists. The book is illustrated with 237 pictures, including details. The accompanying
text discusses each picture or group of pictures, and draws generalizations about the
trump-where it was known, how it was played and by whom, and what were the attitudes
toward it.
The complete list of pictures forms the
appendix, with basic data on the the pictures, artists, owners, and literature. There is
an extensive bibliography.
