Kings
and Queens of England: 1066-1935 was a series of cigarette cards issued
by John Player & Sons in 1933. Most of the portraits used on the
cards were from contemporary paintings. However, accurate representations
have not survived of eleven of the kings: William
I, William II, Henry
I, Stephen, Henry
II, Richard I, John,
Henry III, Edward
I, Edward II and Edward
III. It was decided that these pictures should be based on engravings
produced by George Vertue (1684-1756).
