Product Descrpition：
The deck has been in process since - wait for it! - August 2005 - so we want it to be an exceptional piece.
The images are painstakingly drawn in pen and ink by the brilliantly talented Russian artist, Lena Kozachuk, with a great deal of input and image editing by Alex Ukolov. It has been a real partnership, with both enhancing the skills of the other. Karen Mahony designed the concept and structure of the deck.
It is based on a variety of magical and fascinating creatures from world mythology, ranging from the familiar, such as the unicorn and the giant, to the less known, like the Irish Amandán and the strange, conjoined alchemical rebus.
We won't be repeating this version, which is one of our guaranteed limited editions. It comes in a beautiful wooden box (carefully made in Czech Republic) and for the first time for one of our decks, the foldover pouch that comes with the deck is specially embroidered!
A total of 500 copies would be printed and approximate 475 copies only will be for sale. This is a signed and numbered Limited Edition.
- 78 very large format fully illustrated cards, 165 * 100 mm (about 6.5 * 4 inches) plus a title card (79 cards in all).
- All decks will be signed and numbered.
- Majors and Courts each have an illustration of a mythical creature. Minors ("pips") have highly decorative illustrations and show the suit symbols.
- Cold-stamped. This is an underlaid ink but gives the impression of a metallic overlay. It is NOT actually metal though, so there are no metal-allergy issues.
- Printed in Europe under our careful supervision.
- Printed on 320 gram playing-card stock.
- Varnished with semi-matte varnish so that the varnish is not too shiny.
- A detailed booklet is included. This will have less information than the companion book that we plan, but is comprehensive enough to allow you to knowledgeably use the deck.
- Supplied in a sturdy, coloured solid wooden hinged box specially designed for the deck and made in Czech Republic.
- Supplied with a beautiful hand-made and embroidered foldover pouch in gilded linen (a gorgeous fabric made in Czech Republic). The embroidery is done by us in our studio and is of very high quality and based on our own designs. The bag is sewn by our wonderful seamstress, Romana, in Czech Republic.
- Size：78 cards, 10 x 16.5cm
