Circus No.47 Playing Cards printed by the United States Playing Card Company. First issued in 1896. This is a vintage deck. I hope USPCC will reprint it.

This playful, colourful and rather wonderful series of cards designed by Dan Adams are shaped like playing cards and they feature a bunch of rather funny and talented characters: there is an elephant, a seal, a dog, a monkey and a lion. And there is also something more sweet and lovable in the winning ace of hearts!
The full series of designs is now available at twenty21 (these are only greeting cards!)
