It's not simply "circa" 1918 - it's on the money 1918! That was the only year (and not even a full year at that) in which the Victory series decks were available for sale - they were pulled off the market shortly after "the Great War" had been won. I think they were available from April to November. Any sales books before that wouldn't have had the samples, and any books after that would have had those decks pulled as they were no longer available - even if only by pulling the cards off the pages.
