Above: nine cards from a 48-card pack featuring caricatures of four film comedians: Chaplin, Lloyd, Keaton and Turpin. A rhyming couplet describes each scene and a miniature playing-card appears somewhere in the design. On the reverse a blank panel could be overprinted with publicity material. A number of different chocolate makers from Barcelona and Valencia availed themselves of this pack at different times. Published under the name of Fénix of Barcelona.

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.
