\'GIACOSA\' 19th Century Playing Cards - Made in Italy forCavallini & Co.
LIMITED EDITION
These limited edition playing cards are reproduced from a hand-colored deck first circulated in France in 1819. The lively designs and caricatures that decotare the cards are attributed to Baron Louis Atthalin,whose inspired satirical sketches of famous Parisians were popular in French journals and newspapers in the early years of the nineteenth century. Atthalin\'s clever designs, in which a group of barnyard animals becomes the Nine of Spades, or a display of Etruscan vases is transformed into the Ten of Clubs, are sure to be admired by card players and collectors alike.
