Four of the cards (Charles I, Oliver Cromwell, Charles II and James II) include along their lower edges parts of the imprint of the printer and publisher details from the printed sheet, prior to cutting and mounting, which when joined together reads: 'LONDON: Printed by T. Gillet, Salisbury Square for JOHN WALLIS at his MAP WAREHOUSE No. 16 LUDGATE STREET'. John Wallis was based at 16, Ludgate Street, London from 1783-5, and in 1790 and 1801.
