Souvenir of Turkey
Souvenir of Turkey playing cards by KS Games with scenic photographs on every card.
Souvenir of Turkey pack of cards published by KS Games, which the box describes as “Special of the Turkey”. Each card has a different photo relating to Turkey, including epic historic and religious sites, lyrical landscapes and belly dancers on the jokers. Curiously, the courts have German indices for the Jack, Queen and King, although the inscriptions and box are in English. The back design shows a collage featuring wrestlers, Whirling Dervishes and an ancient temple against a mountain backdrop.

I have adored playing cards since before I was seven years old, and was brought up on packs of Waddington's No 1. As a child I was fascinated by the pictures of the court cards.
Over the next fifty years I was seduced by the artwork in Piatnik's packs and became a collector of playing cards.
Seeking more information about various unidentified packs I discovered the World of Playing Cards website and became an enthusiastic contributor researching and documenting different packs of cards.
I describe my self as a playing card archaeologist, using detective work to identify and date obscure packs of cards discovered in old houses, flea markets and car boot sales.
