    A Pack of Cavalier Playing Cards (1886)

    Explanatory notes of a pack of Cavalier playing cards, temp. Charles II. forming a complete political satire of the commonwealth, by Edmund Goldsmid; 1886; E. & G. Goldsmid, Edinburgh.

    A facsimile with explanations of a "very curious Pack of Cards" which used to belong to Lord Nelson and date from around 1660. The cards feature various satirical allusions to the politics of the time - namely the English Civil War and the following Interregnum - and, along with the explanations given, form (as the subtitle announces) "a complete political satire of the commonwealth".
