Peintres Latino Americains
Original artwork by 18 different Latin American artists.
Presumably, each artist was told which card they were to design for this pack. Some designs are single-ended and some are double-ended; all are colourful and original. The name of each artist is given in the right-hand border of the courts and Jokers. On the court cards the indices are in French. The pips on the numeral cads are mostly set at jaunty angles. The back design (another artist’s work?) is composed of 100 small, double triangles in brown and purple. The box is remarkably uninformative and, sadly, there is no leaflet to tell us more about the artists. On inferior quality board.
Above: ‘Peintres Latino Americains’ playing cards published by Editorial Quipus, S.A., Spain, 1986. Printer unknown (possibly Quipus?). 52 cards + 2 Jokers in tuck box. Size: 67 x 91 mm.
The box for this pack is numbered “I” but I know of no further packs in this series. See the box
