John Lewis Burckhardt (1784-1817), travelled from Aleppo to Cairo and then made two journeys, one along the Upper Nile, the other through the Nubian desert.2. Atabey 166; Blackmer 237. "Edited by William Leake, these journals describe Burckhardt's various journeys between 1810 and 1816. It was at Aleppo that he studied Arabic in preparation for his later travels and he toured Syria and the Holy Land making the first visit by a European to Petra" (Blackmer).3. cf. Blackmer 239 (second edition). Burckhardt spent nearly nine years in the Middle East and North Africa preparing for an expedition to find the source of the Niger under the auspices of the African Association, only to succumb to dysentery before completing his quest. In 1814 he travelled up the Nile as far as Dar Mahass; then, finding it impossible to penetrate westward, he journeyed through the Nubian desert in the character of a poor Syrian merchant, passing by Berber and Shendi to Suakin, on the Red Sea, whence he performed the pilgrimage to Mecca by way of Jidda. At Mecca, he stayed for three months and afterwards visited Medina. The present work relates his experiences in Arabia and contains the first accurate account of the Hedjaz including Mecca and Medina to reach Europe. The plates include plans of Mecca and Medina. There were two editions of this title published in 1829, the present large quarto edition, and a two-volume octavo edition.4. Not in Blackmer. The final work was published posthumously by the Association for Promoting the Discovery of the Interior of Africa.

Beall, Kaufrufe und Strassenhandler – Cries and Itinerant Trades, E10 (Overton edition, dated to c.1711), Colas 1793-5 (various editions), Lipperheide 1019 (c.1711 edition, incomplete, with 21 plates only). Further reading: Shesgreen, 'The Editions, Imitations, and the Influence of Marcellus Laroon's "Cryes of the City of London"', Studies in Bibliography Vol. 35 (1982), pp. 258-271.The 61 plates without numerals, including with the title page, are from one of the editions by original publisher Pierce Tempest, who according to the Term Catalogues first issued a work titled ‘The Crys of London … engraved upon forty Copper-Plates’ in Michaelmas 1687. It was quickly expanded: a notice in the Term Catalogues for Michaelmas 1688 announces ‘There is now completely Finished, the Cryes and Habits of London … upon seventy-two Copper-plates’; by Trinity 1689 the work is advertised as containing ‘74 Copper-Plates’.The last known edition of Laroon’s Cryes to be published by Pierce Tempest appeared in 1709 (Shesgreen, p. 261). The plates then passed from Tempest to Henry Overton the Elder (1676-1751). The date of Overton’s edition is unknown but has been conjectured as 1711 (Beall), or as late as 1731 or 1733. Overton added numerals to the lower right corner of each plate and added his imprint and the phrase ‘In 74 Copper Plates’ to the title page. In c.1760 the plates passed to Robert Sayer. His plates are completely reworked from the Tempest/Overton versions, with the costumes updated, numerals moved to the upper corners, and ‘Mauron delin./pinx.’ and ‘P. Tempest exc.’ removed.

This original 19th century pack appears to be extremely scarce, not found in either of the above collections, nor in Cary collection, British Museum, Berry (Playing Cards of the World), Waddington collection, Mann (All Cards on the Table), or Ortiz-Patiño collection. The only other original deck found is that in: Reisinger, Tarocke, vol. 1 p.450 (the pack more fully illustrated and described on pp.447-449 is again a facsimile).Ferdinando Gumppenberg has been described as, "ingenious in the field of playing card production" (according to the publisher Osvaldo Menegazzi: see https://www.wopc.co.uk/italy/gumppenberg/). The World of Playing Cards website mentions that Gumppenberg’s son and successor Lattanzio Lamperti published this deck in the 1840s as a probable reissue of an earlier pack. According to the 7bellonline.it website (https://www.7bellonline.it/cartedagioco/fabbricanti/?maker=gumppenberg), Gumppenberg did not hand over the business to his son until 1848, yet our example has the ink stamp of L. Lamperti, indicating that the son was already in the process of taking over the business in 1847.

The first pack listed appears to be a very early edition - possibly the first - of this much-repeated design. We have found no other example like this, with beards as well as moustaches for jacks (except for the notably clean-shaven jack of spades), and with square corners to both the cards and their gold borders. The third pack listed here agrees with Mann 194 (also with Daveluy 18), which she describes as being one of the earliest designs of this pack and dates it to circa 1850. All other examples we have seen show moustaches (only) for all jacks, and later designs include indices, crown over the king suit signs, and eventually rounded corners. Therefore we suggest that our first pack is very possibly the first Cartes Moyen-Age design that Daveluy produced. Daveluy was printing playing cards from around 1840, and filed his patent for chromolithographic production in 1847.Second item: Cartorama 62 #22; Cary collection, Belgium 43 (similar); Daveluy 15.
