Botany - an unusual and rare late George III card game, Botanical Pastime, in a Series of Questions & Exemplifications, Calculated to render the first and more uninteresting part of the Study an agreeable Amusement., Printed for Darton, Harvey & Co., Gracechurch Street, [London c. 1813], Price 5s. plain [...] 7s. coloured, the cards measure 11.8cm x 7.6cm, printed pink title-card, 65 cards including introduction, key and 63 playing cards (harlequin numbering, some printed with monochrome botanical illustrations) For a similar example see Toronto Public Library, Record ID 2884022. Little is known of this scarce card game, however what we do know is that the game was advertised in 1813 in B.M. Forster's 'Botanical illustrations of the twenty-four classes in the Linnaean system of vegetables' and was inspired by Priscilla Wakefield's 'An introduction to botany in a series of familiar letters'. Cards are dealt to players with the possessor of card 102 starting the game by asking the question on that card. The player with the appropriate answer reads it aloud, and carries on the game by asking another question found at the bottom of the same card.
