Teuila cards are a pack of fortune-telling cards, likely brought from Samoa by Isobel Strong, stepdaughter of Robert Louis Stevenson. [1] In her biography she recalls telling fortunes at garden parties using calling cards which she had painted symbols onto ("a horseshoe for luck, a bee to signify work, a heart for love, etc"). [2] Her designs were later sold as a commercial deck of cards in the United States. [2]
Both backs and fronts are coloured pictures, the back depicting a woman using the cards.
