Athalin (Baron Louis). Transformation cards, [Paris, France, 1815], the complete deck of 52 etched transformation playing cards, comprising 4 suits of 13 cards (French suits), the court cards portraying events relating to named historical figures, with suit-signs (uncoloured) to upper right corners, the pip cards 1-10 depicting a wide variety of scenes, including bear-baiting, Turks smoking pipes, circus dogs, a battle scene, carpenters at work, etc., the suit-signs hand-coloured in either black or red, the plain verso of each card has a near contemporary ink manuscript description (in French) of the scene or event depicted, in a neat calligraphic hand, occasional light toning or minor marks (mainly to edges), each card approximately 95 x 66mm, contained together in 5 ringbinder album leaves with clear pockets, each album leaf 33 x 32cmQTY: (5)NOTE:Field 31; Hoffmann, p.50; Morley, pp.118-119; Ortiz-Patino collection, 64.A rare deck of transformation cards in remarkably good condition, and made unique by the fine calligraphic inscriptions on the versos.Field describes these cards as showing 'a high level of artistic ability ... with considerable detail', and the Ortiz-Patino collection states that 'this pack has been considered to be one of the most elegant and finely drawn of all the artistic transformation cards ...'. Apparently Baron Athalin (sometimes Atthalin) designed these cards during a sea crossing from Palermo to Marseilles in 1814, and they were engraved the following year. The knave of clubs has the name 'Ja[que]min Gringonneur', an artist who is known to have painted packs of cards for the French king Charles VI in 1392. It is believed that the figure used to depict Gringonneur is actually that of Athalin himself. The king of spades represents David cutting off Goliath's head with his own sword, after slaying him with the sling stone (although it does appear that Goliath is still living in this portrayal).
