A reproduction deck of 18th-century playing cards printed on matte, heavyweight, aged card stock.

Published by Madison Bay Co., this deck replicates the style of cards used in colonial England, where card games such as Pharaoh and Basset were widely popular. The card backs are intentionally blank, a historically accurate detail, as printed card backs were not introduced until the 19th century when Thomas De La Rue & Co. added them to discourage card marking. Packaged in a resealable poly bag.

  • 52 cards, four-suited
  • 3.5 × 2.5 in.
  • Matte, heavyweight aged card stock
  • Blank card backs (period accurate)
