Watercolor Joker on a Fleur-de-lis Pack of AGMULLER Cards

I'm having some difficulty dating this Joker even though the back of the Fleur-de-lis card seems to be linked to a classic AGMULLER deck. However, every pack that I have seen has the classic look Joker and nothing close to resembling this almost stained-glass Jester look. It would stand to reason that those 1950s decks are later iterations of this card which could be a throwback look itself, though I'm not sure how long back Jokers go in Switzerland seeing as they only date back to the Civil War era here in America.

Atlasnye Russian Playing Card Deck

This Atlasnye (Атласные) (Russian word for "satin") Ace of Diamonds from a Russian playing card deck is based on a design by the Russian painter Adolf Iosifovich Charlemagne (1826-1901) (Адольф Иосифович Шарлемань) from1862.  Although the original deck seemingly had 52 cards this vintage one that I purchased from Ukraine recently only has 36. I will post the entire deck as time permits.
