128 Articles 16 Contributors

Commemorative playing cards mark dates, people and milestones. Publishers and institutions issue them for centenaries and bicentenaries, world fairs and exhibitions, royal occasions, club anniversaries, new infrastructure, sporting events and museum shows. Designs often feature portraits, landmarks, coats of arms, event logos or timelines, sometimes with limited editions or presentation cases. Together these packs act as souvenirs, publicity and records of civic memory, showing how cards keep history visible in everyday life.
