PHYSOGS The Novel Card Game was published in England circa mid-1930s. It's an exceptionally clever use of photographs of parts of the face - eyes, nose, mouth - to create endless arrangements, many with surreal results. For details click here to read the description written for the game, which is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Note that the Met citation lists the date as 1940s. However through research on toy/game sites, it appears this was published in the mid-1930s by Waddington.
