A minimalist mid-century poster that is perfect in its simplicity and refinement. We think it would look fabulous in almost any room, office, lobby … any place that needs a pop of color and vintage whimsy.

A bit of playing card trivia: It has been suggested that the first cards may have been actual paper currency which doubled as both the tools of gaming and the stakes being played for, similar to trading card games. Using paper money was inconvenient and risky so they were substituted by “money cards”. One of the earliest games in playing cards were used for which we know the rules is madiao, a trick-taking game which dates to the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644).”

Recently linen-backed, this poster is in excellent condition and would look fabulous framed.
