Diamonds = Baroque (17th century)

The knave of Diamonds is Charles II.

Diamonds have the animal variation of Birds

Hearts = Rococco
(18th Century)

The only famous face among the Court cards is The Queen of Hearts, Sarah Siddons, the famous actress!

The animal variation on the Hearts are Mammals.

The idea is based on the Gothic Grotesque, human/animal transformations. Each deck is signed by Shelley Fowles as the designer and maker. The colour is very brilliant and true, due to the fact that colour copies are used, only possible as the cards are mode on such a small scale. Each card is covered with a laminate to protect and preserve them and enhance the colour. The boxes are carefully made by hand with a gold Interior and covered In very high quality decorative paper. I purchased my deck directly from the artist. To contact her, please click here.

There are 52 cards and 2 Jokers and a Descriptive card in the pack with either a Red or Blue reverse design
