This is a sheet that was printed around 1850 by Friedrich Culemann in Hannover. The maker's name is on the Jack of Diamonds (on the right in the bottom row).

The cards show an own design which is based on French cards. This is especially obvious because the figures show the names used in the Paris pattern.

Here the cards are shown from top to bottom in the sequence Clubs, Spades, Hearts, Diamonds. On the sheet they are originally shown with King, Queen, Jack arranged vertically in each colour and from left to right in the sequence Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts.
