Represented by the New Geographical Playing Cards’, all edges gilt, original blue watered silk wrapper, mark to rear cover, a little wear to extremities, 12mo, 32 cards corner mounted onto 2 lightweight display boards, encapsulated in clear plastic (these cards not examined out of display boards), the remaining cards and booklet contained together in contemporary dark green morocco slipcase, with lift-off lid, rubbed and lightly marked, with a little wear to extremities, all surfaces blind-tooled, front of lid with gilt-lettered ‘Geographical’, each display board 54.5 x 40cmQTY: (1)NOTE:Hargrave, p.179; Mann, All Cards on the Table, p.134-136; Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, p.161; Morley, p.139; Ortiz-Patino collection, 14.The accompanying booklet describes the various figures portrayed on the court cards and the countries they represent, for example Saladin (for Egypt) as King of Clubs, and Robespierre (for France) as Knave of Hearts, noting that these characters are depicted “by tasteful and accurate representations”. The booklet takes pains to note that “Washington, though he was in reality the President of a republic, yet, as the principal individual connected with the history of the United States, is here represented as the King of Spades.” The booklet goes on to boast of “the accuracy and beauty of the geographical engravings (which are executed in the first style by an eminent artist)”.According to Sylvia Mann (All Cards on the Table), this pack of Geographical cards was a copy of a French pack from 1825, and was made for Hodges by Stopforth & Son. Mann states that this pack, together with the related Astronomical pack by Hodges, were “the last of the finely engraved English packs (p.136). H.T. Morley describes these as “a very artistic pack” and the court cards as “very finely engraved and beautifully finished in gold and colours”.This pack was later reissued by William and Henry Rock. However in their edition the suit signs are initially printed in black and then stencilled in colours, whereas the suit signs in the Hodges set were printed (outlines and hatching) in colour before adding the stencilling - as here. In addition, the Hodges edition has the hand-painted crown added to the King of Spades card, which the Rock edition lacks.
Lenthall (John, publisher). A set of 49 (of 52) playing card maps and two explanation cards, circa 1717, uncoloured engraved playing cards in the first state, minor staining and handling marks, each approximately 95 x 60 mm, contained in a modern purpose-made book box in panelled calf with a chemise and recess for the cardsQTY: (49)NOTE:Kathleen Wowk. Playing Cards of the World p.96. Sylvia Mann Collecting Playing Cards. p.136. Sylvia Mann, All Cards on the Table, p.132. A very scarce item of English cartographic history with very few collections in existence. This John Lenthall edition is a re-issue of Robert Morden's playing card maps but without the normal foliate borders which identify a Lenthall issue. Extant examples are rare with the Bodleian Library holding eighteen cards, The Beineke Library at Yale has seventeen cards, and the British Library and Cambridge University Library have none. Although advertised for over thirty years very few copies are recorded in existence today. We cannot find any record of a near-complete pack in this first state and must conclude that it is probably unique.
Lenthall (John, publisher). Geographical Cards of England, with part of Scotland and Ireland, and the adjacent parts of France and Flanders, describ’d to tabulate upon the Ace of Harts and the Ace of Diamonds, London: printed for and sold by John Lenthall, [circa 1712-1717], the complete deck of 52 playing cards, the 4 aces with printed description, directions, and list of counties, the remaining cards formed from an engraved map of England and Wales, hand-coloured in outline and dissected into 48 cards, each card with stencilled suit sign in black or red, the 48 map cards with ink manuscript number or Queen / King / Knave, ace of hearts with red ink tax stamp, plain versos, some light spotting, and minor marks, occasional light offsetting, 2 cards with very slight adhesion scarring, each card 95 x 58mm, with contemporary sleeve, formed from (presumably waste) playing cards of plain design, stitched together and covered in marbled paper, rubbed with some minor wearQTY: (1)NOTE:Mann, All Cards on the Table, p.132 (illustration); Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, p.140 (no. XII); Wowk, p.96.Campbell, Tony. “Chronicle for 1991.” Imago Mundi, vol. 44, 1992, p. 140: 'The Geographical cards of England, John Lenthall [c.1718-44], (40 of 52 cards, each composed of a section of the map of England engraved by James Moxon). Sotheby's 14 November 1991 [Lot]...210'.This extremely scarce pack of early geographical playing cards was created from a map of Britain engraved by James Moxon, itself based on an earlier version by Adais. When Moxon died in 1708, John Lenthall obtained many of the plates Moxon had engraved and reissued them. In this case he reprinted Moxon’s map to be cut into a set of playing cards, with suit signs and numbers added by hand. In All Cards on the Table, Sylvia Mann suggests a date of c.1700 for these cards, which could have been true for earlier copies without a tax stamp. However, 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 but before January 1718.

Whistler (Rex). Flying Visit of Truth to Berlin in the form of an R. A.

A. F. sees over Berlin" on the verso, 325 x 485 mmQTY: (1)NOTE:The map commemorates the first British "nickel" (propaganda leaflet raid) over Berlin during World war II. It took place in early October 1939 and was carried out by planes of RAF10 Squadron. The raid was promoted as a sign of Germany's weak air defences and its vulnerability to attack. The R. A. F. is represented by numerous putti wearing flying helmets and goggles and being led by a warlike Britannia. In the lower right corner are caricatures of Hitler, Goebbels and Goering, shaking impotent fists at the sky whilst Von Ribbentrop cowers beneath a table. They support a 'skull and crossbones' flag with the skull wearing an SS cap. Rex Whistler joined the army in 1939 but was killed in action in 1944 in Normandy at the age of 39.
