No.17 Playing Cards - Stockholm 17 - Deck Review

review link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrBgslRkHSw

"No.17 Playing Cards" is a custom designed deck of playing cards (poker size), printed by United States Playing Card Company (USPCC), Bicycle® branded.

There is no specific theme in this deck, it´s quite eclectic, Lorenzo let his fantasy run when he illustrated the courts. The diamonds have clearly an Egyptian resemblance, but overall they belong to a parallel world. There is a thing that connects all the court cards: the text circling the background is a part of the Aeneid, a Latin epic poem written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans.

I really like this deck - and not only that I got to read the Latin to my nephew over the weekend Smile
