c1861 Floral Playing Cards Rock Bros
This is a Floral Suit design deck of c 1861 - Produced by Rock Brothers & Payne - - It is 51/52 Cards and lacks the 5 of Roses - The cards have been used but are in Good+ condition - No tears, bends or unsightly markings. - - The Court cards are wonderfully coloured and - unusual for a non standard court pack in - that the pip cards are also non-standard! - -
The following is an extract from "The Stationer" [possibly] - - ""Messrs Rock, Brothers & Payne have sent us a sample pack of their - New Floral Playing Cards, published under the patronage of H.R.H. - the Princess of Wales who, more than ever at this moment*, - appropriately figures as the Queen of Hearts or, as perhaps we ought to say - of Roses. For these cards are not floral in the sense in which that word - is generally applied by our cardmakers, since the backs display that absence - of colour so much admired at the Clubs while on the faces may be - seen Roses, Pinks, Violets and Heart's-ease, in the place of hearts, - diamonds, spades and clubs - a pleasant substitution for Circles where - thoughts of sweet flowers are ever welcome and where revokes - with fear of which cards might inspire serious players, - only add to the joy of the game. The court cards are - novel in design, and, we need hardly add, - excellent specimens of colour printing"" - *[ we surmise this refers to the death of Prince Albert ]- Postage Category A |

The inside reveals an informal photograph of the Royal Family for Xmas 1947.

The other inside page shows the 1947 Xmas Greeting with the hand signature of the King and Queen. The card is in fine condition.
Together with this very early Xmas Card are two packs of mint playing cards [ 52 plus Joker for each ] – each pack bears a Royal Cipher, one for the King and one for the Queen. These are standard bridge size cards and were printed for exclusive use of the Royal Family at the various Royal Households or whilst travelling. We leave you to judge the exclusiveness of this offer.- Postage Category A |
