Description
The typology of Spanish playing cards is fascinating, with regional gaming traditions resulting in a wide variety of designs, even today. This old lithographed sheet, printed on heavy (but not plastic-laminated) card stock is what a deck of 40 playing cards looks like before it is cut into individual cards. The artwork is 19th century in origin, itself drawing on much older traditions stretching back to the 14th century. Spanish-suited playing cards or Spanish-suited cards have four suits and a deck is usually made up of 40 or 48 (or even 50) cards. It is categorized as a Latin-suited deck and has strong similarities with the Italian-suited deck and less to the French deck. Spanish-suited cards are used in Spain, southern Italy, parts of France, Hispanic America, North Africa, and the Philippines.
