Characters of national policy (Ukraine)

Characters of national policy
Political decks of playing cards have been issued in Ukraine many times, and in my opinion, they are an indicator of a free society. This deck was printed in Odessa by the DELUXE Publishing Center. It's quite rare; I've never seen one for sale. It was a gift from the publisher.

Pablo Picasso № 1 (Russia)

Amedeo Modigliani (Russia)

Amedeo Modigliani
Amedeo Modigliani, an Italian artist, is featured in this deck of playing cards, featuring his nude works. Most of these paintings were commissioned.

Narren-Karte (Germany)

Narren-Karte
The Narren-Karte deck of playing cards was produced between 1860 and 1870. In those days, cards were printed using woodcuts, and the card designs had to be as simple yet stylish as possible. In my opinion, the artist managed to convey even the characters' emotions. Publisher: C. H. Reuter (Nurenberg)

Glazetnie version of 1840 (Russia)

Glazetnie version of 1840
I've written repeatedly about the vast number of 19th-century decks that were produced in numerous variations. Woodcut printing was a method whereby an image was applied to wood and then printed from it. The wood quickly deteriorated, requiring a new, similar image to be recut.

Russian playing cards, version 2 (Russia)

Russian playing cards, version 2
This deck of playing cards is the same variety as number g04572, but differs in the design of the ace of diamonds and the tax stamp on the 3 of diamonds. Furthermore, because the decks were printed in different years, the artwork varies, and post-print stencil coloring further exacerbates these differences, so we're showing both versions.

Russian playing cards, version 1 (Russia)

Russian playing cards, version 1
Russian playing cards from the mid-19th century are extremely rare. And just 5-10 years ago, they were virtually unknown. The decks themselves have survived only thanks to foreign collectors.
