Spanish-suited deck for the Estanco de Naipes del Perú
Spanish-suited playing cards printed for the Estanco de Naipes del Perú.
Spanish-suited playing cards printed for the Estanco de Naipes del Perú, anonymous manufacturer, c.1960. A circular 'M' motif appears on several cards, presumably the manufacturer's logo, otherwise the designs are the standard Cadiz pattern. The three-masted galleon shown on the four of coins, with a Spanish flag on the masthead, is copied from a known Spanish brand. The Estanco de Naipes del Perú logo is shown on the reverse of the cards.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
