Juegos y juguetes en una entrañable baraja infantil.

English summary: Based on a set of vintage black-and-white children’s drawings acquired at auction, this card deck breathes new life into the originals with cheerful colouring and straightforward design. The illustrations come as five pre–die-cut sheets, ready to be coloured by hand, already partially punched into the shape of individual playing cards.

Basada en una serie de dibujos infantiles en blanco y negro adquiridos en una subasta, esta baraja les da nueva vida mediante un colorido alegre y una composición sencilla. Los nombres comerciales y referencias publicitarias que aparecen en las cartas son totalmente ficticios, creados para reforzar el ambiente lúdico y desenfadado del conjunto. El acierto del diseño es haber mantenido el aire espontáneo de las ilustraciones originales.

Los dibujos vienen en cinco láminas ya semi troqueladas con la forma de cada naipe. La idea era que los niños iluminaran los naipes, previa o posteriormente, y “despegarlos” para formar la baraja. El estilo recuerda a los años 60/70, cuando, además, eran habituales estos juegos troquelados entre los escolares.

I am a researcher and my primary interest lies in playing cards manufactured in Cádiz (not the 'Cádiz' type in general). I have authored several articles in the annual Asescoin magazine 'La Sota'. Among them are: “Madrid’s Playing Cards from the 17th to the 20th Century”; “New Contributions to the Study of Playing Cards in the Valencian Country”; “The Fouquets: 'Navarra pattern' in the Netherlands”; “Divided Playing Cards: Combining Ingenuity with Skill”; “Here Be Dragons: Speculations on the Evolution of the so-called 'Portuguese' Pattern”; “Playing Cards in Chile: News and Chronicles from the Viceroyalty Era”...

I have written and designed the book “Los Naipes de Cádiz” (296 pp). Additionally, I have contributed to the design, layout, and collaboration in Enrique García Martín’s book “Naipes, Arte y Fantasía” (444 pp).
