[MR] Cloisters playing cards reproduction

[SNSpies at aol.com]

I have just received my pack of Lady Anne Claxton's reproduction  playing 
cards based on The Cloisters' 15th-century pack, the only known complete  set of 
15th-century playing cards.  They are absolutely wonderful.  It  is a pleasure 
to know that I have this set now because, as far as I know, no  "official" 
reproduction has ever been made.  She sent the cards with a  cover blurb on the 
box describing what the cards are and how they were  made.  A treasure indeed!
 
Lady Anne says she has sets remaining for sale, so if you are interested,  or 
know someone who may be interested, please get in touch with her at

"If  by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone 
who  welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the 
welfare  of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their 
jobs, their  civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we 
can break  through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies 
abroad, if  that is what they mean by a 'Liberal', then I'm proud to say I'm a 
'Liberal'." John F. Kennedy, 14 September 1960
