USPCC: Circus No.47 Playing Cards

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.

HOPC: Curator Deck by Emmanuel José

Emmanuel José graduated with a degree in Studio Art from DavidsonCollege, where he created drawings, prints and paintings. During his undergraduate years, he was introduced to the technique of papercutting.

In 2011, a longtime fascination with playing cards prompted Emmanuel to set up a personal challenge: Create 1 playing card a week, culminating in a complete deck of transformation playing cards***.

Using papercutting techniques, Emmanuel follows a centuries-old tradition of transforming the suits and pips of a standard deck of playing cards.

Through the creation of these decks, Emmanuel hopes to present playing cards not as mere objects, but as canvases ripe for creativity and a little imagination.” ~ Emmanuel José

Bēhance: Hungarian Playing Cards by Barbara Bernát

I decided to  design a new set of Hungarian cards, or Tell-cards for this year’s school assignment. We had to create something which can be connected to the art nouveau movement of Hungary. Some of the figure cards feature hungarian and international artists of this style of art, the aces symbolize the four seasons. The deck contains 32 illustrated black-and-white cards.” ~ Barbara Bernát
