After having created several modern original decks of playing cards I have recently been inspired from playing cards from the past. And in this campaign I will present you 2 amazing examples of semi-transformation playing cards from the late 19th century. By supporting this campaign you will be helping bring back a piece of playing card history. All of the art was painstakingly recreated digitally from scratch. Special thanks to "the World of Playing Cards" for providing a source of information on these and many other historical decks. Also special thanks to Josh Blaker for providing additional reference material.

After having created several modern original decks of playing cards I have recently been inspired from playing cards from the past. And in this campaign I will present you 2 of my favorites; the Vanity and Faro. Both of these deck were originally produced in the late 19th century. The Vanity deck is based off of the famous "Vanity Fair" transformation deck copyrighted in 1895. The Faro deck is based off of the Russel & Morgan Squared Faro first printed in 1887. The Faro deck was supplied to casinos for the game of faro and is more of a "workers" deck while the Vanity deck would be considered more of a "novelty" deck. Special thanks to "the World of Playing Cards" for providing a source of information on these and many other historical decks.
