Summary "Explanatory Notes of a Pack of Cavalier Playing Cards, Temp. Charles II." by Edmund Goldsmid is a historical satire that was published in the late 19th century. This work serves as a detailed examination of a unique set of playing cards that illustrate the political landscape during the English Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell and the subsequent Restoration. Through these cards, Goldsmid offers insights into the key figures and events of the period, ultimately portraying a critique of the political climate. The book presents an interpretative commentary on a pack of Cavalier playing cards, each featuring illustrations that reference notable characters and incidents from the time of Oliver Cromwell to the Restoration of Charles II. Each card is accompanied by explanatory notes that elaborate on the historical context and significance of the figures depicted, such as Cromwell, Ireton, and various parliamentarians. These explanations not only highlight the satirical elements of the playing cards but also provide a narrative that reflects the conflicts, betrayals, and shifting allegiances within this turbulent period of British history. Overall, Goldsmid's work serves as both a historical resource and a humorous critique of the political machinations of the era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
