Lot 454

Lenthall (John, publisher). Love Cards, or the Intrigues and Amusements of that Passion Merrily Display'd, London, circa 1712-1717, the complete deck of 52 uncoloured engraved playing cards, each with an illustration on the theme of love, accompanied by two lines of verse below, each upper corner with miniature playing card incorporating suit sign and value, King of Hearts with red tax stamp of crown within filigree border, dust-soiled with some spotting or brown marks, 5 of Hearts somewhat creased with previously repaired short tear (associated slight surface loss), Knave of Hearts minor wear to lower left corner, 10 of Spades with few faintly impressed short lines centrally, plain versos, each card approximately 95 x 61mm, plus an additional defective 2 of Spades, contained together in 3 ringbinder album leaves with clear pockets, each album leaf 33 x 32.cmQTY: (3)NOTE:Fournier, British Isles 30; Hargrave p.201; Mann, All Cards on the Table, p.342 (mention only); Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, p.145 (Lenthall's advertisement no.XXIV), illustrated plate III; Ortiz-Patino collection, 9.There appears to be some uncertainty regarding the publishing history of this pack. Several sources name this pack as above, which is the title given to a pack advertised by John Lenthall in 1714, following on from a similarly-named (but probably different) pack advertised in 1709. Some sources also date their packs to circa 1700: although this pack has a 'crown' tax stamp, there are decks in existance which have no tax stamp, indicating that packs identical to this one were made before tax stamps were required in 1711. Finally, in his IPCS journal supplement Taxation on Playing-Cards in England... John Berry concludes that the 'crown' tax stamp, when unnumbered (as here), was used for packs made after August 1712 and before January 1718.

Rowley and Co. (publishers). European Monarchy, London, circa 1765 -1776, the complete deck of 52 engraved playing cards, comprising 4 suits of 13: pikeheads (blue-black), clovers (green), heart on chalices (red), and faceted diamonds (orange-red), each with pip cards 1-10, and 3 copper-engraved court cards printed in blue-black (colour suit-signs to upper left corners), with half-length oval portraits of the kings and queens of England (George III), France (Louis XVI), Spain (Carlos IV), and Prussia (William II), with their attendants as Knaves, aces with allegorical symbols denoting Nobles, Clergy, Citizens, and Peasantry, ace of spades (printed in black) with duty number 1, Rowley & Co, and G III Rex, plain versos, some cards spotted, each card 91 x 63mm, 17 cards corner mounted onto a display board, encapsulated in clear plastic (not examined out of display board), the remainder loosely contained in a clear plastic bag, the diplay board 54.5 x 40cmQTY: (2)NOTE:Fournier, British Isles 65; Hamilton 141; Hoffmann 55b (illustrated); Mann, All Cards on the Table, p.134; Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, p.163; Tilley, p.129; Willshire E.169 & 170.A scarce and unusual pack of playing cards with an innovative design, it can be dated to between 1765 and 1776 from the duty ace which is of the type A1 (modified) printed at the Stamp Office between those dates (see John Berry, Taxation on Playing-cards in England from 1711 to 1960, IPCS Papers No.3, 2001). The pack in the Victoria and Albert Museum has been dated to between 1774 and 1776, but it is not clear how they arrived at this narrower date range.This attractive deck was an attempt by Rowley & Co. to introduce an alternative to the traditional suit signs and imagery, but it did not prove popular. The intention was clearly to make the French suit-signs more consistent with the Italian origins of their names, with pikeheads for piques, clovers for trèfles, faceted diamonds for carreaux, and hearts on chalices (or cups) for coeurs. The cups were probably included to connect with the early Italian suit of cups, which was believed to represent the clergy, as is explicitly the case here with the ace depicting a bishop's mitre, staff and cross.
