for sale 12 prints:"Gambling Through the Ages" Harrahs

$25 + actual postage: "GAMING THROUGH THE AGES" -- 12 PRINTS BY HARRAH'S --12 mint prints of oil paintings of gambling scenes through history -- suitable for framing or just having.

In 1960 Harrah's commissioned Harper Goff to create 12 oil paintings to trace the history of gaming from the barges of the Nile in 1300 B. C. to early Nevada.. Each print is 9" X 14 1/2 " and each is in perfect shape, suitable for framing. The project took two years and used 120 models They look like they were never taken out of their enclosed folder. (They were also used in the famous 1961 Harrah's calendar.)

I have my own copy of this portfolio, and couldn't pass this set up when I saw it. Comes in its own folder. Some of the titles:
Roman Dice
The Ladies Game (topless women)
The Kings Dice
An Early Slot Machine
The Man Who Broke The Bank at Monte Carlo
Keeno In the Civil War
Chinese Keno in the Early West
Faro in Tonopah

The following pictures do not do it justice:
