2006 Luxembourg Modiano Photography Souvenir

Luxembourg may not be everyone’s first choice as a holiday destination but clearly there are enough visitors to warrant producing souvenir playing cards. This pack by Modiano features 54 different colour photographs, mainly of sights in the city of Luxembourg (one of the four official capitals of the European Union), each one named in French beneath. Both vertical and horizontal formats have been used. On the reverse is the flag of Luxembourg against a cloudless blue sky. If the pack is ever reprinted, the image on the 8 of Spades will need to be changed! See the box
