Jane Austen Playing Cards

Inspired by Jane Austen's well-loved novels and characters, and rich in authentic period detail.

Each suit in this fully custom-designed deck represents one of Miss Austen's beloved novels, and each suit's court is represented by the novel's lead characters.

For design inspiration the artist relied on fashion plates found in Ackermann's Repository of Arts-an influential British periodical published from 1809-1829 that featured articles and images on art, architecture, fashion, furniture, needlework patterns, and politics. It is likely that Miss Austen would have been familiar with this publication.

Illustrated by John Eric Ligon and printed by the United States Playing Card Co. Packaged inside a beautiful letterpress-printed tuck box featuring gold foil accents and embossed scrollwork.

Great for Jane Austen fan

I got this as a gift for a Jane Austen fan, who loved it. Fans of the classic novel will appreciate the loving treatment that Jane Austen's famous novels have received in this delightful tribute from the Art of Play label. Each suit represents a different novel, with the court cards featuring the lead characters in the story. The design of the characters is inspired by period costumes and reflects the fashions from the time in which the stories are set. The classy tuck case ensures that everything is nicely packaged and well presented.

These Jane Austen cards are wonderfully designed. The cards have a yellowed, old-timey look to them that adds a personal touch to the otherwise normal-looking number cards. The face cards feature Jane Austen heroes and heroines in beautiful artwork. A lovely touch that I appreciated is that each suit is consistent within one novel, with the aces featuring the title of the novel and its date of publication. The box is a lovely shade of blue and features quotes on almost all of the sides.
