Who do the figures on the Hungarian card depict and why do they depict them?
Speaking of "Hungarian" cards, it would be logical to have famous Hungarians on the cards... However, the names of Vilmos Tell, Hermann Geszler, Stüszi vadász and others are not to be found in Hungarian history or literature. Who are they then?
In fact, the Hungarian card is called the Tell card.
Friedrich Schiller's German drama tells us about William Tell, whose name is familiar to us all.
While Schiller's drama became a symbol of Habsburg antipathy in the early 19th century, these heroes were very popular in Hungary, which was seething against the Austrians. That is how they came to be on the deck. That's why many of us are surprised when we don't recognise the celebrities of the lower and upper classes we think of as Hungarian.
