They're a bit grubby, which is why they were cheap. I've been looking for this deck for some time, though, so am happy to have found it.
It's by Goodall, and it features characters from Shakespearean plays: Julius Caesar, Henry VIII, Henry V and King Lear. I didn't even know that Shakespeare had written a play called Henry VIII, but apparently he did so (in collaboration with John Fletcher). Also, it turns out that the Globe Theatre was burned down when a cannon shot used for a special effect in the play set the building's thatched roof on fire.
Anyway, the deck was first manufactured in 1893. I don't know for how many years it was in print, but Goodall was taken over by De La Rue in 1921 so it can't be later than that. It could well have been made only in 1893. My pack came in what could be its own box, but it's plain and there's writing in pencil all over it so perhaps not.
As usual, I'm more pleased with this than most people would be if in receipt of a 125-year-old pack of playing cards.
