Monarchs and Royalty on playing cards

Royal themes present portraits of kings, queens and dynasties, coats of arms and regalia, palaces, coronations and jubilees. Makers publish educational histories, costume and court-portrait sets, souvenir issues for royal visits, and commemoratives from weddings and accessions to national celebrations. Subjects range from Tudor and British monarchs to Portuguese, Brazilian, Hawaiian and Danish courts, alongside modern photographic or artist-led interpretations.
