Red Riding Hood Playing Cards

My two antique Red Riding Hood playing cards from England are arrived. Both Spades. One a King and the other a Three. Now to collect the other 50 or so cards.

A previous sale of an Ace of Hearts bearing that same picture but with square corners surmised that it was likely a Chas. Goodall & Son deck but I haven't been able to verify this.

The only other example that I have come is from another collector who also had a rounded corner 6 of Diamonds card.

Atlasnye Russian Playing Card Deck

This Atlasnye (Атласные) (Russian word for "satin") Ace of Diamonds from a Russian playing card deck is based on a design by the Russian painter Adolf Iosifovich Charlemagne (1826-1901) (Адольф Иосифович Шарлемань) from1862.  Although the original deck seemingly had 52 cards this vintage one that I purchased from Ukraine recently only has 36. I will post the entire deck as time permits.
