This is the original Joker playing card from the 'Shakespeare' 1895 deck, produced by Bernhard Dondorf in Germany for the London company C. W. Faulkner & Co. This card shows the Joker riding on the back of a donkey. Curiously, the quotation at the bottom 'Laugh and the world laughs with you' is not from Shakespeare, but from (Solitude) by 19th century poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox. After 1902, this deck was published by Dondorf with different Jokers and plain Aces of Spades as 'No 192'. C. W. Faulkner and Co. operated from Golden Lane in London, EC1. From 1882 they worked as lithographers, and also printed in gravure. Their best-quality playing cards were those printed in Germany, some by Dondorf, prior to the First World War. C. W. Faulkner and Co. were best known for their postcards and greetings cards, including Misfitz, which they produced until about 1920. The company closed in 1956.

They are agile flyers, capable of hopping and maneuvering among branches with ease. Collared Aracaris are also known for their distinctive calls, which include a variety of whistles and croaks.\n\nHabitat: Collared Aracaris are primarily found in the dense rainforests of Central and South America, including countries like Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. They prefer habitats with plenty of fruit-bearing trees.\n\nDiet: Their diet consists mainly of fruits, but they also feed on insects, small reptiles, and bird eggs when available.
