Playing Cards etc

Commoners by Ian Cumpstey

A tribute to the traditional styles of transalpine playing cards, with a rural landscape setting.

The style and appearance of the Commoners cards are based on the traditional German-suited playing cards that have been used in
parts of Europe for hundreds of years, and are still used today.

However, the Commoners cards are drawn with the typical international standard (French) suits.

Much of the artwork on these cards is also inspired by my local landscape
and surroundings in Cumbria in the north of England.

Old Familiar Playing Cards by Penelope Cline

Description: Old Familiar Playing Cards were inspired by old drawings, prints and paintings in which the subjects are depicted with their pets,
who are imagined here as familiars of the royal characters of the four suits.

The court cards have two slightly different images for each card designed to intrigue when reversed, making the cards especially suitable for
use in cartomancy, as reversals will suggest different shades of meaning.

Creatures on the four aces were chosen to represent Earth, Air, Fire and Water and the drawings were created in coloured pencil by Penelope Cline.

The deck is tarot-sized and comes with a black velvet pouch direct from MPC.
