The history of playing cards is long and sometimes confusing. Beginning in China around the 1200's introduced to Europe in the 1300's and over to England around 1480. Today’s 52-card deck preserves the four original French suits of
centuries ago: clubs (♣), diamonds (♦), hearts (♥), and spades (♠). I'm sure I don't even have to tell you who designed the fabulous pack of cards here but I will anyway :) My favourite artiste français Tankateo illustrates one deck of playing cards a year and publishes it as a limited edition and I was lucky to get the last pack in her current series. Pick a card, any card.. they're all fabulous ♥ Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. thanks so much for all the good wishes re my injured foot, has slowed me down temporarily but not for long😉

I can see why you like these. The art reminds me of the work of artist Ralph Steadman. Do you know his work?
ReplyDeleteI like these a lot. So artistic!

ReplyDeleteOh wow, those are great. I love them. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThose are awsome. But I notice there no one eye jacks.
ReplyDeleteNow that is some set of cards, Grace! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI couldn´t even play with it because I´d enjoyed looking at the cards so long the other person might just fall asleep, LOL
