Repoker Político - Diario 16
Political caricature playing cards designed by Antonio Olveira, published by the Málaga newspaper “Diario 16” on the occasion of the 1995 local elections. Each suit represents one of the main political parties with their logos on the four Aces and their most notorious representatives in Málaga as the court cards. The same ‘International’ court designs are used, with different colour schemes, for the three courts in each suit, but with a different face at the top.
♠ Partido Socialista Obrero Español; ♥ Partido Popular; ♦ Izquierda Unida; ♣ Partido Andalucista.
The reverse of the cards has publicity for Puerto Marina Málaga.
Above: political caricature playing cards published by the Malaga newspaper “Diario 16” on the occasion of the 1995 local elections. 44 cards + 4 (identical) Jokers, 87x57mm. The reverse shows publicity for Puerto Marina Málaga.

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.
