Lot 1080
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. Millon auction catalogue, 5 November 2011, item 125. Cartorama 49, item 94.Provenance: The Christopher Rayner Collection

This is 1-sided only with a test-tone on the other side. The record is in VG+ condition showing a few light surface marks to the playing surface, these are never heavier feelable scratches.
