Mr Rayner's catalogue notes state 'Standard (if a little idiosyncratic) English small size single-ended courts.

Domestic and other scenes on the trump cards. In Tarot, Jeu et Mage', Thierry Depaulis (page 128) provides a list of the scenes on the tarot cards, and the order in which they are portrayed on the trumps. This pack has those scenes, but not in the order shown in that list. e.g. Tarot 9 in this pack (see scan) is trump 21 in the Depaulis list. The calendar in trump 12 is 1867, probably an indication of when the cards were first produced.' References: Depaulis, Tarot, Jeu et Magie page 128; Depaulis, Le Tarot Révélé, page 55. The pack illustrated there has the same trump cards, but in a different order; ct. Wüst, page 74 - 'Encyclopaedic Tarot" with trumps apparently in the 'correct' order. https://www.playingcardmakerscollection.co.uk/Cardhtml/0097.html - WCMPC collection.
