Jane Austen
Brand:
Inspired by well-loved novels.
Each suit within Jane Austen playing cards by Art of Play is rich in authentic, period detail and fully customised to represent one of Miss Austen's lead characters.
Housed within a letterpress-printed tuck box featuring gold foil accents and embossed scrollwork, illustrator John Eric Ligon has drawn inspiration from architecture, fashion, patterns and intricate needlework found in articles and images from fashion plates in Ackermann's Repository of Arts, originally published from 1809-1829, to create a timeless aesthetic that translates perfectly to playing card design.
