Royal National Patriotic

It is printed very luxuriously by chromolithography using no less than eleven colours, one of which is gold. All cards have an ivory background inside a gold border. The backs in dark blue and gold on white have forty-one clocks showing different time zones from around the world. The pack has non-standard aces, non-standard courts, non-standard colours for pips (spades are blue, hearts maroon) This is NOT the first edition (which is easily distinguished as it has very large pip symbols in the centre of the numeral cards). The first edition was published in 1892, so this example probably dates from 1893-1896.
