Learning through play

This deck of 54 cards is a reproduction of the geography game ordered in 1643 by Mazarin for the education of the young Louis XIV. Illustrated by Stefano Della Bella, the different parts of the world are presented as allegorical figures accompanied by brief captions. Each card suit is associated with a continent: hearts for Europe, diamonds for Africa, clubs for America and spades for Asia. This card game is out of print. A game for collectors supplied in an illustrated box.
