Concertina. Zustand: Very Good. Unique. Unique. Concertina. James Sketchley was a British publisher who produced, from at least 1750 in England, the "Conversation Cards" as an educational game for children. In addition, he was an ardent Freemason who stated: "A man, who, if Masonry e'er was the theme.His bosom with Rapture would glow and expand." From a newspaper advertisement in 1775, "it is natural to seek for amusement or diversion, the cards show consequence. they improve and instruct; they will exercise the imagination, enlarge the understanding, and every one that plays with them are sure to be gainers." With 15 hand-colored panels, possibly meant for a fortune-telling purpose or game, or possibly just a word game. The panels, or cards, are entitled "Friendship", "Gratitude", "Mask", "Deceit", "Oeconomy", "Good Woman", "Good Nature", "Coach", "Cottage", "Old Bachelor", "Letter", "Security", "Plenty", "Justice", "Hall". A complete set found in the Toronto Public Library collection. Collection of 15 hand-colored conversation "fortune telling" cards, mounted on rough canvas linen and selectively colored with color washes, accordion folded, or [leporello] though, this is an incomplete set; original set was [52] cards. The set is finely and delicately printed from copperplate plate etchings. With moderate condition issues; soiling to surface of illustrations and marred with blue water color paint over surface. Regardless, an extremely scarce specimen of early 18th century printing and an example of parlor games.
