EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of playing cards from the late 19th century. Dating back to 1878-1880, this assortment features two Swedish playing cards at the top and three Swiss ones below. The intricate details and craftsmanship of these vintage cards are truly remarkable. Each card represents a different suit - ace, club, diamond, and heart - with kings, queens, and knaves adorning them. Amongst the deck lies the majestic King of Hearts and the enigmatic King of Spades. These cards offer a glimpse into the rich history of card games in both Sweden and Switzerland during this era. The scenic view depicted on one of the Swiss playing cards transports us to Montreux, Switzerland – a picturesque location that adds an extra touch of charm to this unique collection. Printed over a century ago, these playing cards have stood the test of time as tangible artifacts from an era long gone. They serve as a testament to human creativity and leisurely pursuits throughout history. As we admire this print by Granger Art on Demand, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us back in time – reminding us that even simple objects like playing cards can hold immense historical value.
