EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "King of Hearts, 1925" playing card from De La Rue & Cos Pneumatic Playing Cards collection. The vibrant red background sets the stage for this piece of art that represents a blend of arts, gambling, and literature. The King of Hearts stands tall in his regal attire, exuding power and authority. His heart-shaped emblem symbolizes love and passion, adding an intriguing touch to this classic image. This print takes us back to the roaring twenties, a time when playing cards were not just a pastime but also an integral part of social gatherings. As we gaze at this century-old masterpiece, we are reminded of the rich history behind these colorful pieces that have entertained generations throughout the 20th century. The intricate details on each card reflect the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during that era. Interestingly enough, this particular king has earned himself another nickname - "the suicide king". This term originates from Alice in Wonderland's depiction where he is shown holding a sword against his own head instead of resting it on his shoulder like other kings. Whether you appreciate it as an art collector or simply enjoy indulging in games with friends and family, this print captures the essence of a bygone era while igniting our curiosity about its fascinating origins.
