Introducing Ad Fontes, Renaissance Playing cards, featuring hand-painted imagery by artist Ritu Bhattacharya.

Ad Fontes, meaning, “back to the source” in Latin, was a closely held belief for Martin Luther, among many others. Luther believed that old Greek sources were more important than the Pope’s word, which led him to become the father of Lutheranism.

This project was planned with the idea to create a deck of cards to tell the story of the Renaissance. To add a layer of authenticity, these cards were drawn using prevalent artistic techniques from the era. Also, the old paper-like appearance harks back to earlier knowledge and doctrines.

Features of the cards:

54 custom artistically hand-painted Playing Cards

Printed on premium casino grade card stock with Linen Finish

Custom Pips and Original Artwork

Printed by Legends Playing Cards Co.

Features of the Scholar Edition tuck case:

Side opening book design

CMYK Printed with soft touché finish.

From 1913-1922, Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. For decades this landmark served as an architectural icon for the city, during which time it survived several devastating earthquakes until it was demolished in 1968. Fortunately, the main entrance and hotel lobby were preserved and reconstructed in 1968 at the Museum Meiji-mura, an open-air architectural museum and theme park near Nagoya in Aichi prefecture, Japan. In celebration of the centennial anniversary of the Imperial Hotel, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has partnered with Art of Play to design a commemorative pack of playing cards based on Wright's original drawings. Meticulously Illustrated by Ethan Kowaleski in close collaboration with Brad Fulton and Dan & Dave Buck.

Limited Edition Cammeo Playing Cards by Vincenzo Alfano are a celebration of handmade art, creativity, and the importance of working with your hands. Limited to only 1,500 decks. Will not be reprinted. Cammeos have a rich history originating back to Egypt in 15,000 BC where petroglyphs were carved into the rock to record events. The cammeo (or Cameo) is a jewel made through engraving stratified stone or shell. Collectors appreciate the rare art of Cammeo sculpting, which craftsmen techniques have been handed down for generations in Torre del Greco a Naples, Italy. As rare as this skill, Cammeo Playing Cards will be just as collectable. Each of the 1,500 decks have a numbered seal. Inspired by the age-old tradition of fine craftsmen and carvers; every detail of Cammeo Playing Cards has been thoughtfully drawn and painstakingly created. The backs have intertwining rings and hourglasses documenting the passage of time and dedication it takes to engrave the intricate facial features and individual curls surrounding the beautiful cameo faces. Every card has been spectacularly overhauled with actual Cammeo artists' artwork used for the faces. The court cards have spectacular color and detail. Every aspect of these cards from the pips to the indices and even the boarders are astounding. Cammeo Playing Cards capture the essence of art, tradition and history into a beautiful story captured in 56 cards printed by USPCC.

Erik Tait is the 4th American in history to win a prize at FISM for card magic, and the first to do so in twenty years. When competing, Erik could have chosen any deck of cards in the world to perform with. He chose Continuum. Now you can own the exact same cards used to take home a FISM trophy. “I chose the Continuum cards for competition because the colors are beautiful, the design is elegant, and the materials used had all the qualities I like in a deck I want to perform with. These cards are gorgeous and make a statement that when you perform with them, the possibilities are infinite.” -Erik Tait Continuum playing cards have a classic, yet modern appearance. Featuring 100% custom artwork, the card backs have a detailed geometric design with an infinity symbol in the middle - representing infinite possibilities. The faces are clean, modern takes on the royalty with hints of metallic gold ink. The number cards have a clear, minimal appearance that's suitable for any routine or card game. Continuum playing cards feature Penguin's exclusive UltraLux™ Finish and AquaFlow™ Coating. The casino-grade European card stock has a perfect linen texture that handles like an absolute dream. The cards are traditionally cut with smooth edges that provide just the right amount of grip. Printed with vegetable-based inks and water-based coating, the cards are planet-friendly as well! Continuum decks are soft enough to get to work straight out of the box, but durable enough to meet the needs of a full-time magician, cardist, or card sharp. •Custom tuck box with inside printing
