See British Museum collection 1938,0813.7.1-50 for a very similar deck, also WCMPC Collection Acquisition Nos. 44 & 49 for earlier examples.This deck appears to have been printed from older blocks. The 8 in the date on the ace of cups seems to have replaced an earlier number, and the banner that once held the name of Felix Solesio (the factory manager) is now blank. However, the 2 of coins now has an initial ‘R’ which likely stands for the new factory manager (Clemente Roxas?), indicating that this deck was printed after the death of Solesio in 1806.Second item: Denning (Spanish Playing-Cards), p.54; Denning (The Playing-Cards of Spain), pp.60-63; IPCS pattern sheet 25; WCMPC Collection Acquisition No. 427.

Note: A 19th-century copy by an unidentified hand after the original in oils, held at Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire [103.1995]. Joanna Leigh, later Lloyd, was the co-heiress, along with her four sisters, of the rich merchant John Leigh of Northcourt House, Isle of Wight. She married Richard Bennett Lloyd of Maryland in 1775. He came from a wealthy family who owned tobacco plantations and served as an English soldier in the Coldstream guards between 1773-1775. In 1773, the couple had their portraits painted in London and Richard was painted by the celebrated American artist Benjamin West (1738-1820). Reynolds shows Joanna carving her husband’s name on a tree, a literary reference to Shakespeare's 'As You Like It', a popular play at the Drury Lane theatre. The motif also occurs in two Italian epic poems of the 16th century: Ariosto’s 'Orlando Furioso' and Torquato Tasso’s Gerusalemme Liberata'.Please refer to department for condition report
