Hunt & Sons c1820 Complete Deck of Playing Card - a Georgian Pack.
Note: Due to the heavy taxation in this period - there were vendors who sold single cards to 'make up' sets where a card had gone missing.
This is perfectly acceptable to collectors - this pack could not have been, easily, 'made up' because it has the patterned back.
