Baraja Gaucha Juan C. Yelina
Baraja Gaucha by Juan C. Yelina for Profertil S.A., 2006.
Gaucho themed playing cards designed by Juan C. Yelina for Profertil Granular Urea, 2006. The theme of the Gaucho, skilled horseman of the Pampas and national icon, is very apt for the agribusiness company to reach farmers wotking the land. Each ace has the national colours on a ribbon. The artist’s signature appears on the court cards and aces.
Above: Gaucho themed playing cards designed by Juan C. Yelina for Profertil S.A. (in the Agribusiness sector), 2006. 48 cards + 2 jokers in box. The jokers show a farmer pointing to a card on his forehead. The 8 of clubs has an unfortunate printing error.

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.
