DVIRACIO KORTOS

36 cards in a special tuck box. Made in Lithuania, 2001.

Above: 7 cards and the back design from the 'Dviracio Kortos' pack, based on 'Dviracio Zynios' ('The Bicycle's News'), a popular Lithuanian TV comedy show, in which actors satirize the vices and follies of modern society. The double-ended courts show photographs of actors holding non-traditional symbols of office, such as cucumbers, baseball bats or guitars, and posing in comic attitudes. The cards are designed by Jurgitos Brazuinienses and are linen finished with a colourful back design taken from the TV stage set.

Albinas says "About card's history in Lithuania - there is very little information. I know of only 5 other Lithuanian packs since 1990. Most of the older packs, were destroyed in the war. About old cards (till 1940) - there are only 6 packs I know of in Lithuania which, of course, are very scarce."
