Proverbial Cards, [John Lenthall], between 1718 & 1744, a complete set of 52 playing cards with French suits, each copper engraved with large illustration and proverb in margin below, Roman numeral in upper left corner, and hand-stencilled suitmark in upper right corner (that to the 3 of spades with surface loss), ace of spades with red ink garter duty stamp (in use between 1718 and 1744), some surface rubbing (knave of hearts with small discreet repair), occasional close-trimming resulting in loss of single line black border, rounded corners, plain backs, generally dusty and toned on rectos and versos, knave of diamonds and the ten of hearts each with horizontal crease, the two and the eight of spades with slight crease to upper left and right corners respectively, approximately 92 x 65 mm (3.5 x 2.5 ins), together with a mid 20th century letter giving details of ownership, contained in an old brown linen bag, with hand-sewn hem at top for draw string, latter missing and bag with several holes (Qty: 1)NOTESSchreiber, English, 68; Willshire 204. The British Museum has two sets, one incomplete (missing the ace of spades) and the other, a complete set, bequeathed by Lady Schreiber in 1896. Rare complete set of early proverb playing cards. This set of cards was first issued on 23rd November 1698 by William Warter, but because of various somewhat offensive scenes the deck was quickly withdrawn. William Warter was a London stationer whose shop was at the 'Signe of the Talbott, over against Fetter Lane End of Fleet Street, London' at least as early as 1682. John Lenthall was apprenticed to Warter in 1699, and took over the business around 1708/9. Some of the cards issued by Lenthall were educational, others political, geographical, or arithmetical, but these proverb cards were designed simply to entertain and amuse. There are scenes, for example, of defecating humans and dogs, amorous liaisons, and hangings and beheadings, with captions such as 'Where there are women and Geese there wants noe Noise', 'He that is hang'd Shall nere be drown'd, and 'Men and Dogs may goe Abroad but women and Catts, must stay at home'.
