Does anyone know where I could get cards with the Spanish suits and square corners. 19th century reproductions would be ideal.

Don't know if this will help but they have quite a few and may know how to get what you need.

There's a deck here http://www.wopc.co.uk/shop/navarra-xvii-......ile.html But it's 126 pounds.

There's also this one for 30 pounds http://www.wopc.co.uk/shop/baraja-espano......ile.html But I think it's an Hombre deck so it's missing some cards

Thanks, Payne! Out of my price range. But thanks for looking. Looking through that site, I see early cards with rounded corners and numbers. I had thought those were 20th century developments. I have a pack that has those features.

Indices and rounded corners on playing cards started to appear in the later part of the 19th century and were pretty common by the 1880's.
