Description
Introducing a meticulously digitally hand-recreated reproduction of Cotta's Almanac #2 Transformation Playing Cards, a rare and historic deck that combines masterful artwork with rich cultural significance. This extraordinary deck is a testament to the innovative spirit of the early 19th century, when playing cards were not only a game but also a canvas for artistic expression and storytelling. The Cotta's Almanac #2 Transformation deck, first published in 1806, was a groundbreaking creation that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in playing card design.

The deck's Court cards feature an all-star cast of characters from Greek and Roman mythology, carefully selected from classical sources such as plays and the Bible. These iconic figures, reimagined in exquisite detail, add an extra layer of historical significance to this already-rare deck. The Queen of Spades, for example, is none other than Andromaque, the courageous wife of the Trojan military hero Hector, daughter of Eetion. Her story, inspired by Jean Racine's play "Andromaque," has been beautifully reinterpreted in this stunning deck.

The mastermind behind this extraordinary deck was Countess Mary Day von Jennison-Walworth, a woman of great talent and determination. Her life was a testament to the power of perseverance and creativity, and her work on this deck remains an enduring legacy. The Countess's design, expertly digitally recreated by Azured Ox, showcases her boundless imagination and attention to detail.

This rare deck has been expertly produced by Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc., with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. The cards are printed on classic stock with an embossed finish, ensuring a tactile experience that enhances gameplay. The metallic ink on the box and full-bleed backs adds an extra touch of luxury, while the custom tuck seal and puzzle image on the tuck spine complete the package.
