The last two set of instructons in English form from two different decks and onlin
Thank you for uploading these instructions and making excellent readable copies. You helped me confirm in #2. below that the instructions in a novelty set that I had do copy from an older LeNormand deck.
My similar sets will be detailed below and then I will link to my 1870 set thread so others can compare.
1. Dondorf 1920 with English instructions
One set of meanings very similar from the English version of the Dondorf design distributed from turn of the twentieth century with the gilded backs in the Dondorf thread and USPC site, I will link soon. Circa 1890? Only it was attributed to a different sybil, which puzzled me if this was made up.

2. I also found a circa 1990ish/2000 brown and white novelty reproduction set with the last set of instructions. The set publishes it with the claim these instructions are from Madame LeNormand. The instructions really like the examples posted by KariRoad--I'll check and confirm if they are like version 1 or 2 she posted above.
a. I did check--the B. Shackman "Madame Le Normand's Mystic Cards of Fortune" did reproduce the circa 1850 (according to the history noted by an author in another LeNormand forum--not linked as according to this forum rules) Le Phillipe instructions posted above.
Because I have a few other sets--not named LeNormand, but "Fortune Cards" with 'early cartomancy' instructions, I am not really certain where this information is coming from. That could be speculative.
3. But as the 'history of the Petiti LeNormand deck' does include the box, instructions and different versions--whether the deck came withttp://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=176083&highlight=1870+lenormandh playing cards or rhymes. My examples of the sets with rhymes from supposedly the '19th century' and circa 1930, 1950, 1960ish and 2000's are said to be traditional, but they might be also just a variation
a. 1890 variation with rhymes--

At the end of the thread above I will post pictures of the 19th century one with rhymes vs the 1920 described in #1.
4. German 1870 LeNormand -- note this has the earlier 32 cards, which seemed popular in some cartomancy sets, but I cannot pinpoint the dates of all variations of 32 and 36 card sets.
a. Sorry, but had to spread the jpg copies of booklet with 32 meanings over three or four posts to this thread:

Anyway, those few links should help those looking for a sampling of the very merry and myriad forms of instructions/boxes/decks of Le Petit LeNormand in the Lenormand forum...French (Belgium and France), German, and English variations abound! (My use of LeNormand or Le Normand may depend on the deck or book that I am looking at and seeing how they are titled)
By the way, Teheuti, Lee, Le Fanu among others have also posted historic variations or their recent purchase/discovery reproductions of historic Le Petit Etteilla variations as they have discovered themin the LeNormand forum. That has been enormous help to me, as I have only a few small historical variations
