Hand-painted illustrations with educational value Premium FSC-certified paper High-quality printing, finishing and cutting The cards are made of FSC Superlux cardboard, 320gsm, black core The tuck box states the deck is called, "Artist Card", not "Art is Card" This is apparently a play on words and not an error.

Lepidopterist is the study of butterflies and within this luxurious deck, we invite you to explore the natural beauty of nature combined with architectural details inspired by the elegant Art Nouveau era of the early 1900s. Originally released on Kickstarter by the designer Ethan Kowaleski in a green colorway, the cards have since become highly collectible. In collaboration with the artist, we are pleased to announce a brand new limited edition Lepidopterist deck featuring a patina back design that looks like aged copper. Packaged in a luxurious foil-stamped tuck box. Sustainably produced using FSC certified paper and vegetable-based inks on our trademark thin-stock and finish. Printed by The United States Playing Card Company.
