Illustrated Shakespeare Playing Cards - Volume I
|
|
| These fantastic Shakespeare Playing Cards have a different Bardic quote on each card, and every play by Shakespeare is quoted. Quotes on all of the number cards contain a reference to that number. Cleverness worthy of the Great Bard! Each of the four suits of the deck represents a different dramatic temperament: Hearts: Love and pleasure. Diamonds: Gain, position, money or treasure. Spades: Intrigue or bad moon arising. Clubs: Violence, actual or conspiring. (You could almost tell fortunes with them!) Kings are kings, queens are queens, and aces display figures who seem to control the action of the play. Shakespeare Playing Cards feature an art historical pastiche on the Aces, face cards, and Jokers, with images from the old masters such as Michelangelo and Rembrandt. The splendid, full color design of the cards is in the style of the English Renaissance. | ||||||||
