Cats, Cakes, Clothes and Cups
Adelaide, 1999

Description:
Cats, Cakes, Clothes and Cups
is my first set of playing cards and was exhibited at the Robert Steele Gallery in Adelaide in 1999. It has been purchased by the National Library of Australia.

The box is 21.5 x 16 x 4 cm and contains the four suits of cards, a booklet which describes the card suits and why each suit was chosen, and also includes an essay on the origins of playing cards, and a silk playing card table cover (not pictured).

The presentation box was made by Anthony Zammit, who works as a conservator and bookbinder.
