* Popish Plot. Horrid Popish Plot playing cards, circa 1678-1704, 49 (of 52) uncoloured etched playing cards (French suits), comprising 4 suits of 13 cards, without 8 of spades and 10 & knave of diamonds, each card depicting events relating to the 'Popish Plot', after a design by Francis Barlow, with caption beneath, an upper panel with suit signs on the left (hand-coloured red suit signs), and Roman numerals or court names on the right, the cards cut from the original printed sheets and mounted (circa 1800?) on laid paper, generally toned, rubbed in places, with some brown marks, several cards with edge chips or losses, minor surface abrasion or a tear, mostly from before cards were mounted, 2 cards creased when mounted, one card with smudging from original red hand-colouring, plain versos, each card approximately 92 x 53mm, contained together in 3 ringbinder album leaves with clear pockets, each album leaf 33 x 32cm, with 7 clear A4 plastic pockets (together in a card folder), containing original correspondence (and photocopies) relating to the exhibiting of this pack by the Royal Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland in 1875 QTY: (1 + card folder)NOTE:Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, pp.153-154; Ortiz-Patino collection 19; Whiting, pp.50-63; Willshire E.186. There were at least six variants of this pack known to be produced between 1679 and 1704, with the first advertisement (by Robert Walton) appearing in 1679, and the last (by H. Newman) in 1704. This deck apparently conforms to SM (Sylvia Mann) type I. The British Museum has original artwork produced by Francis Barlow as preliminary drawings for some of these cards. This actual pack was exhibited in 1875 by the Royal Archaeological Institute, as part of the temporary 'museum' set up for their annual meeting held at Canterbury. According to the accompanying correspondence, the Chapter Clerk of Canterbury at that time was a 'lineal descendant of Sir Godfrey whose murder is depicted on the cards'.

* Politico-historical playing cards. Orange Cards, or The (Glorious) Revolution of 1688, London, late 17th-early 18th century, the complete deck of 52 etched playing cards (French suits), comprising 4 suits of 13, numbered I to X or lettered knave, queen, king, each card with an illustration, possibly after Francis Barlow, depicting a scene from around the reign of James II, captioned beneath, with suit sign top left (hearts & diamonds stencilled red), value top right, and an Arabic numeral (from 1-52) top centre, dust-soiled with some stains or brown marks, occasional minor creases (mainly to corners), some close-trimmed with loss of line border (few clipping image), 3 short closed edge tears, 2 of diamonds with lower right corner excised (affecting 2 words), king of hearts with minor surface loss centrally and to upper blank margin, knave of hearts with adhesive stain to previously repaired upper left corner, small ink manuscript alteration to card 8 (VII amended to VIII), card 9 with indistinct final digit to Roman numeral (possibly a printing fault), plain versos, each card approximately 90 x 60mm, contained together in 3 ringbinder album leaves with clear pockets, each album leaf 33 x 32cmQTY: (3)NOTE:Fournier, British Isles 13; Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, p.155 (no.8); Ortiz-Patino collection 15, Willshire, English 191 (now incomplete); Whiting p.116.Rare. Although it is logical to assume these cards were produced soon after the events portrayed (hence they are often dated circa 1689) the British Museum gives them a slightly later date of circa 1700-1725. The lack of a tax stamp would indicate that they were either sold before 1711, or exported (or possibly finished between June 1711 and August 1712): see John Berry Taxation on Playing-Cards in England from 1711 to 1960 (IPCS Papers no.3, January 2001), p.23.The designs on these anti-Catholic propaganda cards, originally titled 'Orange Cards' but usually titled as above, or alternatively 'Rebellion' or 'Reign of James II', are generally attributed to Francis Barlow. However, although he did design several similar packs, there is no firm evidence to show that these are also his. The British Museum has a volume of original playing card designs by Francis Barlow, none of which are represented in this pack. Nevertheless, Willshire describes these card designs as being in general good, as is also their technical execution. The Arabic numerals enable the story to be followed in chronological order, with scenes varying from macabre, such as 'The Midwife cutting her Husband to Pieces', to satirical, for example 'A Priest selling of Relicks by Auction' in which the relics are 'Tho[mas] à Becket's Old Stockins'.There were numerous similar packs produced around this time, each emphasising various aspects of the events leading up to the reign of William of Orange. Sylvia Mann, in Collecting Playing Cards (pp.151 & following) describes several English political propaganda decks, including this one which she calls 'The Revolution'.

Kathleen Wowk in Playing Cards of the World (p.54) explains that this pattern gained the nickname 'Raddreher' or 'Wheel-turner' from the depiction on the deuce of hearts of a man pushing a large wheel. The Linz Pattern was in use for a short period of time during 19th century, with most decks being produced between 1840s-1880, making this deck an unusually early example. Mann describes this pattern as 'a quite unmistakable pattern which is a sad loss' (Mann: All Cards on the Table, p.102).

However, they appear to contradict themselves by stating that the firm was named Goodall & Son from about 1962, whereas their images of this pack clearly show the name 'Goodall and Son' on the knave of clubs, as here. Jonathan Goodall actually became a partner in the firm in around 1840. The Goodall court cards were redesigned to appear more naturalistic in around 1845, with various minor design adjustments over the next 5 years. The court designs here correspond to type GS1b (Goodall & Sons Playing Cards, a Guide to their Court Cards..., by Michael Goodall, 1993; see also Rod Starling in his 2014 article Goodall c.1845-60, https://www.wopc.co.uk/goodall/goodall-modernised-1845, accessed 07/06/2022).
