Tresor des Jeux by Carlo Antonio, 1759
 
'Tresor des Jeux' by Carlo Antonio was published in Geneva by Henri-Albert Gosse & Comp and in La Haye, The Netherlands, by Pierre Gosse, Junior, both in 1759. As far as I know the two editions were identical. It is clearly closely related to the 1723 edition of 'Récréations mathématiques et physiques' by Jaques Ozanam.

A full copy of the La Haye edition can be found online here.

While it is not completely clear how the instructions / illustrations shown here are to be translated / interpreted, I believe it is most likely that they are intended to be for the How to make a Chain from a Playing Card effect.
