This is a miniature pack made in Germany around 1860 by F. A. Lattmann in Goslar. In a sample book in my collection it is called
and in a museum's sample book I have seen it as 'feine Kinderkarten No. 1' (fine children's cards).

The cards are small size (7 x 5 cm). In my pack, the Ace of Hearts is missing. I have replaced it by an illustration from my picture files. Lattmann also produced similar even smaller cards ('feine Kinderkarten No. 2') that had plain Aces.

I know that a (later) pack with identical design has been made by J. C. Jegel in Nürnberg.
