    CATALOGUE OF THE COLLECTION OF PLAYING CARDS BEQUEATHED TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM ; ^ ^4 f BY THE LATE LADY CHAULOTTE SCHREIBER. COMPILED BY FREEMAN M. O'DONOGHUE, F.S.A., ASSISTANT-KEEPER OF PRINTS AND DRAWINGS. Printed by Order of the Trustees. LONDON: LONGMANS & CO., Pateenosteb Eow; B. QUAEITCH, 15, Piccadilly; ASHEE & CO., 13, Bedford Street, Covent Garden; KEGAN PAUL, TEENCH, TEUBNEE & CO., Paternoster House, Charing Cross Eoad; and HENBY FBOWDE, Oxford University Press, Amen Corner. 1901, : ON !?33 LONDON PRINTED BY WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS, Limited, STAMFORD STREET AND CHARING CROSS. ; PREFACE. The late Lady Charlotte Schreiber formed during her lifetime an extensive collection of the Playing-Cards of various countries, and, dying in 1895, bequeathed the collection to the Trustees of the British Museum. In accordance with the terms of the legacy, all those items were retained which were not strictly duplicates of others already in the Museum, the remainder being returned to the executors. The portion retained constitutes a very important addition to the collection which previously belonged to the department.* The present separate catalogue of the addition to the national collection thus made by Lady C. Schreiber's bequest, has been prepared by Mr. F. M. O'Donoghue, Assistant-Keeper of Prints and Drawings in the Museum, and is published by the Trustees in accordance with an undertaking made on their behalf to the executors of the testatrix when her bequest was accepted. Among the most important items in the collection are, in the Italian section, Mitelli's tarocchino and "II Passa Tempo" packs; Fresehot's cards of Venetian Heraldry, 1707 ; and two interesting Ombre packs, probably executed in Venice, one hand-painted on plates of silver and enclosed in a silver case, the other engraved on brass plates and contained in a case of the same material.

During the Ming Dynasty(1368-1 644), characters from popular novels such as theWater Margin were widely featured on thefaces of playingcards.

  • The Weimar Classics and a Ludemic View on Tarock, Hombre, and Skat
    ULF MARTIN The Tarock of the Skat Inventors Part II: The Weimar Classics and a Ludemic View on Tarock, Hombre, and Skat Dir wünschen wir nach altem Brauch Zum neuen Jahre Glück und Segen Doch unter andern auch Der nötigen Zerstreuung wegen Ein tägliches Konzert mit Pauken und mit Zittern Den ganzen Horizont beladen mit Gewittern Und pour accomplir le bonheur Im taroc ombre Spiel beständig les honneurs. J. W. v. Goethe he starting point for this series of articles was the Taschenbuch der Freude und der ernstern Unterhaltung (Pocket book of joy and more serious en- Ttertainment, see bibliography) which was published by Wilhelm Webel in Zeitz in 1801. In its part about “more serious entertainment” the book deals mostly with Taroc. A detail, the trump II as an ultimo card, led to a reconsid- eration of what should properly be defined as Grosstarock. Grosstarock was previously thought to be the great German variant of the games played with the tarot pack. But we already observed that the Taschenbuch deals mostly with another variant of Tarock: three quarters of the text are devoted to “Taroc à l’Hombre” (Tarock Hombre). We will see that Tarock Hombre must have been a major card game in the entire area of the Saxonian petty states, to which not only Zeitz (in Stift Naumburg-Zeitz) belongs, but also Weimar, the place of ac- tivity of Goethe, Schiller etc. But also Altenburg is close, and in Altenburg the German national game of Skat was born around 1810. We will see that Tarock Hombre throws new light on the origin of Skat: its popularity as well as a com- parison of conceptual games elements reverse previously held views about the relations of the popular games at the place and time.

November 1, Card names, colors, emblems, and designs change according to their provenance and the whims of card players themselves. In Egypt there was a class of military servants who used a card deck that looks almost identical to some of the earliest Italian decks. A 13th century miniature painting that was made for King Louis II of Naples does show various people playing cards with King which suggests that card games might already have been introduced in Italy at that time. Oxford, England: Oxford University Press. The graphics were specifically created with affordable replication in mind. The 78 card tarot nouveau adds the knight card between queens and jacks along with 21 numbered trumps and the unnumbered Fool. The first absolutely confirmed reference is to a Florentine ban on playing cards dating to The suitmarks of the international, or standard, deck indicate two black and two red suits—namely spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds. WhiteKnuckle Cards. Michael Dummett speculated that Mamluk cards may have descended from an earlier deck which consisted of 48 cards divided into four suits each with ten pip cards and two court cards.
