This set includes images of a set of astronomical playing cards printed in England in the late seventeenth century. They were produced by Joseph Moxon (1627-1691), a printer of scientific and mathematical texts who was the royal Hydrographer of Charles II. In 1676 Moxon printed a manual to accompany the cards: The Use of the Astronomical Playing Cards, Teaching any Ordinary Capacity by them to be acquainted with all the Stars in the Heaven, Colour, Nature, and Bigness. These cards – an incomplete set – are from the Alfred Noyes papers (MS2006.054).
