An inscription on the box reads: En el preciso momento que las presentes generaciones están formando conciencia de sus tradiciones, el naipe “Victoria” llenará un íntimo anhelo al contar con un juego de cartas que por sus figuras gauchas les serán familiares, recordándoles un pasado que debe ser inspiración al proyectarse en el futuro.
Que en la inquebrantable determinación de superarse de estas generaciones, aliente el espíritu indomable y estoíco de aquellos gauchos que les legaron el insuperable patrimonio de sus libertades ganadas con sacrificio, amor y patriotísmo.
La edición de estos naipes sea un homenaje a estas generaciones y aquellos gauchos.

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.
