Diversion of Card-playing cards and sales notices
An old advertisement lists many card sets and educational cards with prices and notes on their usefulness for youth learning arts. It also runs notices about a stray horse near Calne and rewards, lost items, inn leases, and upcoming surgical lectures in London. The dense OCR includes names, places, and prices linked to Calne, London, and Bridport, with multiple notices of thefts, recoveries, and sales. There are references to publications and medical syllabi, plus a calendar of card topics and a stationer’s catalogue.
