SILVER GILDED EDITION – ONLY 200 MADE!

The Pennyless tuck has a gloomy scenery printed in a matte material with a striking silver foil and an embossed title that brings the poor people of the Victorian streets to foreground. This tuck is designed to set the tone and atmosphere of the theme. It has a fully custom stamp-like, numbered tuck seal.

With these illustrations I am building on the thematic representation of London in the Victorian Era. Victorian society was organized hierarchically. While race, religion, region and occupation were all meaningful aspects of identity and status, the main organizing principles of Victorian society was gender and class.

Shadows of London Pennyless edition and Moonshine edition with GILDED cards! The tucks for these gilded decks do not deviate from the standard design, but I will mark these decks with two tiny details on the tuck exteriors, so that a collector is still – and always – able to identify them from the main production.

The story begins in London 1843… The construction of Big Ben begins, but there are already many bells tolling long echoes through the dark streets of London. These narrow streets are inhabited by suspicious figures that cast long shadows. A thief, a beggar, a prostitute, a corrupt politician and his cunning wife. All sceptical and scheming about the intentions of the shadowy figure right around the corner and at the end of the street.
