Country of Origin: Italy Keywords: circus scarabeo

Il Circo (The Circus) illustrated by Jules Garnier, published by Lo Scarabeo, 2004. The illustrations on the cards evoke the feel of a traditional 19th century circus, with clowns, acrobats, unicycles, wild animals and the bizarre, although we can’t see any cigar-smoking ladies or fire eaters in the company. William “Buffalo Bill” Cody is honoured on the king of spades and back design. Overall the deck is beautifully produced and a pleasure to behold. See the Info card►
