Historic Decks Timeline

Historic decks timeline: Help me build one!

By snooping around here and other random places, I have come up with a list of decks published up to 1909, including early esoteric decks.

(This project started with me wondering what decks would have been around in the Napoleonic era, the years of Jane Austen and Jonathan Strange. But it started to take on a life of its own!)

Please, please give me corrections and additions! There are decks at the end of the list for which I don't have the date. (I'm really curious about a date for the 1JJ Swiss . . . )

Here's the list: please give me corrections and additions!

Thank you folks! Updating!

Good job!

Wow, this is great rachelcat. Thank you!

Wow this is fantastic, thank you! I've always had a foggy timeline of my own knocking about in my mental Rolodex, but there were too many holes. Lots more to explore now. . . .

I always thought the 1JJ Swiss was originally published sometime between 1830-1835, but I can't find my source for that now.
