AeonHorus Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Hi Guys Not too sure if this is the right place for this but it is a very historical account of all types of playing cards. It is (some of you may well have heard of it that I do not doubt) "The Devils Picturebook" and it is free to download, without any copyright issues (I think). Anyway I think @katrinka and @gregory would have an interest in it maybe @Flaxen too. I know you guys love a little bit of history when it comes to the cards 😉
Rose Lalonde Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 When I checked the link, it was a catalog with mugs, ashtrays, etc. ? (Paul Huson's book isn't in the public domain, but I guess that's not really relevant, since this is something else.)
AeonHorus Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 Yeah it starts with cups n mugs etc. Further into it has many cards etc.

It's and auction house catalogue full of interesting exhibits. Potter & Potter Auctions to be exact. Just some interesting perusal material...

I got the wrong idea from "it is a very historical account of all types of playing cards" which sounded like Huson's book. No worries then! Edited February 25, 2020 by Rose Lalonde
katrinka Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Yes, the same-name title is a bit alarming, lol, but it's an auction catalog. Thanks!
gregory Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 The Devil's Picturebook - the actual BOOK - is still under copyright, I'. sure.
53rdspirit Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 How exciting! Yes, you can highlight the titles and Google search the books that are in public domain online --many in pdf --or, if one collects old books, such as myself, I may see a book that interests me and I'll look around to purchase the hard-copy somewhere. Right up my alley. Such fun!
Flaxen Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 What a fascinating selection of items! How I’d love to browse and see them all in person.
AeonHorus Posted February 26, 2020 Author Posted February 26, 2020 Glad you like it @Flaxen & @53rdspirit 🙂
Morsoth Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Thank you! Nowadays, I'm only buying historical decks, so I am very interested by this!
Symph Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 dang those were some crazy cool mugs!!!! The cards were cool too.... I guess... j/k 😛
