Uncut Sheets of Cards - links and resources
Once upon a time I only knew about the Cary sheet: now I see there is the "Rosenwald" sheet, and the "Austria Sheet", and the "Rothschild" Sheet, and the "Dick Sheets", and the Dauphine France Sheet ... my goodness you historians have been holding out on me
Are they considered less important than the Cary Sheet? Are there any others you haven't told me about?? Aside from the Cary sheet, and the "Dauphine France Sheet" and one card of the "Austria Sheet" - I don't find the others on line -- anyone have more links?
Is there some place where all this information is organised? (if not, can we organise it here?)
(Edited to say, "yes we can" and "here I go" updating to include information added later in this thread)
