Humanity's passion for card games and divination has not weakened for many centuries, perhaps this is what makes researchers again and again turn to the study of the history of such a mysterious and fascinating subject. It is known that in order to determine phenomena that cannot be understood, people resorted to witchcraft. Modern gambling is a relic of just such witchcraft rituals. Catherine Perry Hargrave spoke about the origin, distribution and incredible variety of cards and card games from around the world. She presented fortune-telling, playing, as well as a series of cards designed to instill interest in history, geography, heraldry, military affairs, music, and many others. The author paid special attention to artists, artisans and enterprises involved in the manufacture and sale of cards. The book reproduces copies of rare card series.
