EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases a deck of playing cards adorned with characters and scenes from the early 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors transport us back to a time when card games were not just a pastime, but also an opportunity for storytelling. In this particular deck, we see historical figures taking center stage. The King depicted on one of the cards is Victor Amadeus II, the Duke of Savoy during that era. Interestingly, his birthdate is mistakenly attributed to his cousin Prince Eugene of Savoy-Carignan, adding an intriguing twist to this artistic representation. The Queen in this deck is believed to be Princess Louise Dorothea of Prussia, daughter of Frederick I, First King of Prussia. Her regal presence adds elegance and grace to these playing cards. As we examine each card closely, we are transported into various scenes depicting naval battles, sieges, duels, and victories. These illustrations provide glimpses into significant events such as Lord Overkerk's triumph at Ramillies or the fierce battles fought in Ostend. This litho print serves as a window into history - it captures not only the artistry prevalent during the 18th century but also offers insights into military strategies and royal connections. It reminds us that even everyday objects like playing cards can hold valuable stories waiting to be discovered by those who take a closer look.
