Almost all these cards - references up to 600 - were given to the Company by four-times Master of the Company H D Phillips.
We have relied heavily on John Berry's Catalogue of the WCMPC Collection "Playing-cards of The World" (1995) and we sincerely thank his family for allowing us to show his excellent and extensive descriptions of the cards.

The Company is most grateful to late Liveryman Keith Hutton, whose generous bequest made it possible to scan the cards to create this website. We are also very grateful to the London Metropolitan Archives for making their digital facilities available.
