- Curator's comments
- These cards are on the orginial mount, which is inscribed "Visiting Tickets (Blanks) which have some allusion to Archery / 1779 &c".
Each card has a date written below it on the mount, and a date on the verso of the card, which do not always correspond. All the dates are between 1779 and 1788.
