Spain & Portugal. Nantiat (Jasper), A New Map of Spain and Portugal, Exhibiting the Chains of Mountains With their Passes The Principal & Cross Roads, With Other Details requisite for the Intelligence of Military Operations, William Faden, January 1st. 1810, large engraved map with contemporary hand colouring on four sheets, sectionalised and laid on linen, calligraphic title, table of the distances between towns, table of explanation and an 'advertisement' explaining the topography, slight staining and offsetting, each sheet approximately 570 x 785 mm, overall size if conjoined approximately 1130 x 1570 mm, contained in a contemporary marbled card slipcase with publisher's label to upper board, wear to extremitiesQTY: (1)NOTE:A large and detailed folding map, published during the Peninsular War. Probably because of the war, Nantiat is most exercised with the borders between Spain and Portugal, especially the passes through which it was expected that Napoleon's army might come when the campaign season started in the spring. It is probable that Faden saw an opportunity to sell this detailed and large-scale map to officers in Wellington's army in Portugal, with the idea that it could be used as a reference for the campaign. In July of 1810 - six months after the publication of the map - the French military commander, Marshal Masséna led an army of 65,000 troops into Portugal, pushing on towards Lisbon, but was held back by the Lines of Torres Vedras a set of earthworks that had been built on the orders of Wellington. The campaign - significant for the emergence of large-scale guerrilla warfare - was eventually won by the British under the command of Lt. Gen. Sir Arthur Wellesley, later the 1st Duke of Wellington. It could be argued that the French defeat was sealed when Napoleon set out with a massive army on what proved to be the disastrous French invasion of Russia. This seriously depleted the French forces with the result that a combined allied army under Wellesley pushed into Spain, defeating the French at Salamanca and taking Madrid. In the following year, Wellington scored a decisive victory over King Joseph Bonaparte's army in the Battle of Vitoria. Pursued by the armies of Britain, Spain and Portugal, Marshal Jean-de-Dieu Soult, no longer able to get sufficient support from a depleted France, led the exhausted and demoralized French forces in a fighting withdrawal across the Pyrenees during the winter of 1813/1814. France, Napoleon and its European dominance would finally fall the following year at the battle of Waterloo.

Kathleen Wowk in Playing Cards of the World (p.54) explains that this pattern gained the nickname 'Raddreher' or 'Wheel-turner' from the depiction on the deuce of hearts of a man pushing a large wheel. The Linz Pattern was in use for a short period of time during 19th century, with most decks being produced between 1840s-1880, making this deck an unusually early example.

This is a unique example of this particular pack' (Mann: All Cards on the Table, p.313). In this deck the double-ended animal trump cards are not quite identical at each end, but the variations are not those described by Kaplan in volume II of his Encyclopedia of Tarot (p.436), where he is detailing two later versions of the same pack, one also by Wokaun (1825) and the other by Joseph Dimler (1834).

However, they appear to contradict themselves by stating that the firm was named Goodall & Son from about 1962, whereas their images of this pack clearly show the name 'Goodall and Son' on the knave of clubs, as here. Jonathan Goodall actually became a partner in the firm in around 1840. The Goodall court cards were redesigned to appear more naturalistic in around 1845, with various minor design adjustments over the next 5 years. The court designs here correspond to type GS1b (Goodall & Sons Playing Cards, a Guide to their Court Cards..., by Michael Goodall, 1993; see also Rod Starling in his 2014 article Goodall c.1845-60, https://www.wopc.co.uk/goodall/goodall-modernised-1845, accessed 07/06/2022).
