Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes an insightful look at the history of playing cards, tracing their origins to the mysterious Orient. Cards were brought to Europe by the Romani people in the 14th century, with the French creating their own unique version of the game in the 15th century. Through the analysis of old texts and illustrations, the author posits that playing cards likely originated in India or a neighboring civilization, with the iconography of the traditional deck demonstrating ties to ancient civilizations.
