Beschreibung

[Playing Cards] Nanteuil, Célestin. Jeu Romantique. Paris: Mantoux, c.1838. French Playing Cards, hand-painted/stencilled lithography; incomplete piquet deck with 30 of 32 cards, missing the Seven of Hearts and the King of Spade; pips are picturesque with no indices; backs/dos/versos are blank; the deck is in very good condition with a few corner damages and worn edges; minor amounts of water stains, surface scuffing, and soiling; small notations and writing on the reverses (see photographs). The Jeu Romantique was first published in 1838 by Mantoux. The designs were inspired by the illustrations of Célestine Nanteuil (1813-1873). Delicate and finely hand-painted, this deck is an extraordinarily scarce and exquisite example of 19th century, French card-making. Card Dimensions: 5.5 cm X 8.2 cm.
