Ah, the Bard himself—William Shakespeare, a chap whose genius has left a hefty mark on the arts (and probably your English Lit syllabus). His plots have inspired countless creatives, spanning every corner of the artistic universe.

These playing cards are a nod to that genius, crafted with all the flair you'd expect from Ukrainian artist Maksym Lebedyk. You’ve got three decks to choose from: Classic Black, Royal Burgundy, and the rather splendid Antique edition.

Created from scratch (no dodgy knock-offs here), this collection takes inspiration from a Shakespeare deck first produced by Swan Sonnenschein & Co Ltd. in London back in 1902. Talk about a classic!

Features:

  • Artwork by the talented Maksym Lebedyk (seriously, check him out)
  • Two-way cards because who wants to flip things upside down?
  • Two foils for every edition: Gold and Silver (fancy, right?)
  • Interior foil for all tuck boxes—because details matter
  • Custom seal for all decks (because why not?)
  • Embossing on the tuck (it’s posh)
  • German premium black and burgundy soft-touch cardstocks for Classic Black and Royal Burgundy tuck boxes (no flimsy stuff here)
  • Special stained and worn cardstock for the Antique edition tuck box (adds character, like a good novel)
  • High-quality German cardstock for cards—nothing less
  • Golden metallic ink for fronts and backs (sparkle, sparkle)
  • Printed by NPCC with a premium linen finish (proper job!)
