The history of playing-cards is shown in the following series of pages, which were written by Ron Decker. Ron was curator of the museum (currently closed) at the United States Playing Card Co and is particularly interested in tarot cards—see our bibliography.

You can start at the beginning and follow the links through, or jump to a page of interest. In both cases a new window will pop up.
