The set is divided into five different groups (roses, columbines, carnations, parrots, hares) and each suite has ten numbers and four figures (king, queen, valet, knave). Out of these, 39 impressions are extant at the BM.

The Queen of Hearts, from a 1901 edition of Mother Goose, by William Wallace Denslow by Dunk 🐝 Via Flickr: The Queen of Hearts She made some tarts, All on a summer's day; The Knave of Hearts He stole those tarts, And took them clean away. The King of Hearts Called for the tarts, And beat the knave full sore; The Knave of Hearts Brought back the tarts, And vowed he'd steal no more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Queen_of_Hearts_(poem) Public domain image from The Queen of Hearts, a 1901 edition of Mother Goose, New York: McClure, Phillips, 1901 by William Wallace Denslow w.wiki/37Aq
