The Shadows campaign features two new decks and a special hand crafted Black Label edition, inspired by rare 16th century originals. The goal for this campaign is again to produce premium quality decks.

The Shadows deck is a modern deck inspired by historic originals. It will be printed by the United States Playing Card Company. Rare art sheets which form the inspiration for these decks were sourced over months from respected archives including the British Museum, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Archives Department of Seine-Maritime, and Fitzwilliam Museum of Cambridge.

Religion was a major theme in 16th century art and the Shadows deck is inspired by the story of Adam and Eve, and the choice between Innocentia (innocence) and Cognitio (the acquisition of knowledge). Which will you choose?

The Shadows of History Balck Label deck will feature: individually letterpressed in gold foil and hand assembled by myself. The deck will feature an ornate translucent inner wrapper and a unique ribbon pull. The deck will be signed and numbered with a metallic seal. The cards themselves will be from the Shadows deck with full colour face cards and metallic backs.
