Kings, Queens, and General Knowledge. England, ca. 1790. 38/52 (missing Ah, 3h, 8h, 10h, Kd, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 10c), extra Jd. Very good (no cards bent or torn but light browning and some use). The three aces appear to have had the suit symbol hand drawn in. Most cards carry a full length picture of an English monarch with details of start of reign and its duration in years, months and days. Someone has written on the backs of 33 cards a short sentence about the figure on the card. Annotation on back of the Qc (Elizabeth) reads, “Eliza forms ye church and humbles Spain.” Triplicate indices. Andrew Dougherty patented the triplicate in 1876 but it existed long before that. One of approximately five extant decks, all others incomplete also. According to John Sings at gamesetal.net there are only five packs known and all are incomplete. Some are in collections and some are in museums.
