And a double set from Waddingtons to finish today. Although waddintons had there own Tartan series from the early 1930`s onwards, the back designs on this pack were inherited from De La Rue and used used by waddingtons after their take over in 1969. The decks are also from different dates ,the Macgregor back has the Amalgamated ace used from 1969-1971 and the Anderson back has the first Waddingtons version of the Ace used between 1971-1974.

That Dürer Deck .... !

Hey Bruno T`aint no thing

Albrecht Drurer....Brilliant, his woodcuts are out of this world.

I was reading up on my circular cards by the master P.W c.1500 for the worldwide, and it seems that master P.W ,a contemporary of durer`s, was highly influenced by his works especially his animal sketches. The copperplate cards by Vigil solis c.1544 are also influenced by durer`s works especially the horses and riders of the court cards.
Will see those two decks in the Worldwide Time Machine shortly.

"Jeu des drapeaux" or "Game of flags", This deck was originally produced by Galleaux of France in 1814 and has been reprinted many times by many manufacturers over the years. This Limited Edition pack was printed in 1977 by Edizione del Solleone di Vito Arienti.
