Can you identify this deck?
The maker is possibly Kaspar Traugott Knaut (1799-1881). He produced from about 1820 to 1873, with this deck probably c.1830.
Above: Klaus-Jurgen Schultz believes this deck is by K.T. Knaut as he knows a very similar deck with the identical base drawing, but coloured differently, that is by Knaut. Unfortunately there is no box or maker’s inscription anywhere, so it could be a copy pretending to be Knaut. From collection of Barney Townshend.
