Paperblanks First Folio Playing Cards – Shakespeare’s Library Edition
Celebrate the legacy of the world’s greatest playwright with the Paperblanks First Folio Playing Cards, inspired by a rare, gold-tooled bookbinding from the early 1800s. This elegant design is based on a handcrafted cover attributed to Christian Samuel Kalthoeber, a renowned German bookbinder working in London. He created the luxurious binding for Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies – the iconic First Folio, first published in 1623.
A must-have for literature lovers, design aficionados, and collectors alike.
