Question about my Shakespearean deck: a note at the bottom of the Ace of Spades indicates that it was printed by BEMROSE & SONS LTD. (followed by) Rd. No. 367882. Is this the same deck that was printed by John Waddington, Ltd. 1932-33 or possibly the 1902 version?

This edition of the Shakespearean pack dates from 1904. The cards are narrower than in the John Waddington version and have different wording on the Ace of Spades.
