LOTERIA IS A MEXICAN GAME OF CHANCE THAT DATES AS FAR BACK AS THE 15TH CENTURY. Actual vintage cards are highly collectible, but this framed set of three is pretty spectacular. This set dates to around 1900, and what I like here is the authenticity of the framed set. These cards, representing exotic places and things, were most likely framed for the simple visual beauty they brought to a home. These were found via 1stdibs.Measurements: height: 27.3 cm (10.8 in.) width/length: 27.3 cm (10.8 in.)
Materials/Techniques: Printed cardboard, wood

I have a deck of the last set that I got 15 years ago to use in my collage work. Did laser prints of them, laid out very similar to what's framed, and then cut those up to work with. Loved the Corizon the best.
