Generally with minor changes in detail, but some more obviously altered. Field suggests that the Galloway pack was the 1st edition of this design. However, in his notes Dudley Ollis states that the "3 M's" (Maclure, Macdonald & Macgregor) pack first listed above is the actually the 2nd edition (apparently the 1st edition has a single spade suit sign on the ace of spades) of circa 1865, with the second "3 M's" pack listed above being the 3rd edition, circa 1866. He then gives the Galloway pack last place, describing it as the 4th edition circa 1867, with John Galloway apparently taking over the business from the 3 M's. The nursery rhyme connection only applies to the red court cards: hearts portray 'The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts ...', and diamonds 'The King was in his counting house ...': but only Galloway's version shows the maid (or in this case, manservant) having his nose pecked off by a blackbird.

Dudley Ollis believed that it was a Russian stamp, and mentions wrapper seals with similar wording (which we have not seen): although the cards were almost certainly not made in Russia, whatever the origin of the stamp. The central image could be a double-headed eagle. Second item: Cary, GER 374: Shaw & Symons (Playing Cards from the Factory C.L. Wüst ...) Set 30.Third item: Mann collection #140. Dudley Ollis remarks that the card stock and blue outline printing closely resembles those of Sweden at that period.

This pack is from the early part of Karl Gerich's work, and each copy is 'individual' in that the colouring and allocation of suit signs is different in each recorded example.'

Rare deck of 32 Paris Pattern 'Revolutionary' 'Corrected' playing cards, circa 1790, Referred to as the "Portrait de Paris" corrigé. See Seguin, 'Le Je de Carte': p.105. The Revolution released French card makers from the shackles of conformity imposed upon them until then. Even with their newfound freedom, the card makers dare not innovate greatly. Until 1793 they continued to make the Pars Pattern, removing those elements that might relate to the 'Ancient Regieme' i.e. Crowns, symbols and sceptres. However, they did not know how to decorate the heads of the sovereigns, or what to put in their hands. The kings fare particularly badly - their headgear and accoutrements are a little ridiculous, but the queens do rather better with new headgear. The valets did not change, but took the name 'cultivators', to distance them from their previous servility.In Cartorama 49, item 94 is a 'Revolutionary Paris Pattern' by Ledien, Amies. In that example, the head-dresses of the kings and queens are more plainly 'caps', rather than regal decoration. Darquenne explains this is as a result of the decree of October 1793, so that is probably a slightly later pack. See Seguin and Cartorama in the description above.
