This is a 54 card deck of hand illustrated playing cards featuring ink and watercolour illustrations of the many characters that make up a circus troupe!
Each suit represents a different set of skilled children, with spades being paired acts, diamonds being clowns, clubs being magicians and hearts being acrobatics & fortune telling. The jokers are a little girl dressed up as a unicorn and a little boy dressed up as a lion. The back design is a pair of vintage circus tickets.
The cards themselves are professionally manufactured on 310gsm premium French linen, and come shrink-wrapped inside a durable, clear plastic box.
