Des cartes révolutionnaires

[montagnarde1793]

My revolutionary cards came today! I got two decks: one was a reproduction of one originally created in 1793, and the other was made for the bicentennial. These are the Saint-Just and Robespierre cards for the latter. Saint-Just, because of his mission to Alsace, is representing the suit of the Republican army (des piques), while Robespierre represents the suit of the civilian Republic (des carreaux). Both in in place of the Roi card (hence the "R").

*scratches chin* Shouldn't they have replaces the King with...Président, or something?

Excuse me, but do you remember where you got the bicentennial cards from? I really admire the art and wouldn't mind owning a pack myself.
