Jost Amman 1588 German Cards (Replica)

Replica of the 1588 deck by Jost Amman as created by Rose & Pentagram Design in 2006. This 52 card deck is based on one of the most significant works of Jost Amman, one of the more prolific artists of the German Renaissance. German printers experimented with a wide range of suit symbols, this deck uses Books, Jars, Printer Ink Pads and Cups. As was common in German cards, there are no jacks and queens, but rather the German equivalents of an unter and ober. It also features kings on horseback and a female figure as the 10 of each suit.
