Morden Playing Cards

Facsimiles of a deck originally published in 1676, these cards form a small Atlas of England and Wales (and the first Atlas to indicate roads!).

Each card represents a County, as described in the Preliminary Card, headed "The Explanation of These Cards”. The King depicted on the cards is Charles II and the Queen is his wife, Catherine of Braganza.

"The 52 Countries (sic) of England and Wales, described in a Pack of Cards ... Sold by Robert Morden at the Atlas in Cornhill, Will. Berry at the Globe in the Strand, Robert Green in Budge Row, and George Minikin at the King's Head in S. Martin's."
