The
Standard English Pattern by Ken Lodge
Revised and updated in January 2003
this remains the only published work to comprehensively
cover the history of the English Standard Pattern in
English Playing Cards. I would estimate there are over
600 black and white illustrations enabling the collector
to verify the manufacturer and date of his English Standard
Cards. Ken covers a period of 300 years and comes right
up to date for completeness.

Willis Playing Cards
This deck is complete 52/52 - courts
are printed in blue and stencilled - card is very cheap type
and does not take the stencilling well - 5 cards are not perfect,
it seems that at the time of manufacturing on three cards the
picture part was not being stuck onto the card properly as they
were badly cut and did not covering the backing card. Two face
cards seems to have been rubbed too hard so pieces either peeled
off or left a glue stain - otherwise deck is mint and not used. |

WILLIS PLAYING CARDS MINIATURE INDEX PIPS
This piquet deck of playing cards (32/22)
have interesting indices - they are mini pictures of cards in each
corner - Interestingly the mini court indices are full length courts
but Willis appeared never to manufacture full length court cards -
They produced these miniature indices on two different sets of cards
- once with normal turned courts over the pip and this deck - which
seemed to be produced a year later where the indices are turned and
the pips placed in the other corner.- The backs are decorative with
three smaller pictures almost like a postcards sent from a holiday –in
pinks on blue – Complete 32/32 – Condition excellent/near
