The Count of Montecristo tells the story of Edmond Dantès, a young and innocent merchant sailor who is framed and wrongly imprisoned, and his journey of revenge against those that betrayed him. This story of revenge, jealousy, pride and greed takes place in the early 19th century France and Italy, with a notable oriental presence throughout the entire journey. All of these points have been a core influence for the design of this deck. With The Count of Monte Cristo Playing Cards I tried to pay great attention to all details to make sure that it portrays a simple yet detailed image of both the rich story and the characters.
