What is a deck of cards?

The first deck of cards, the prototype, was invented by Francois De Pauw of France around the 1490s. De Pauw used gold coins for the bells and small panels of ivory, and surrounded them with paper so that they resembled playing cards. De Pauw’s deck of cards was named the Miroir d’Amour, or Mirror of Love. De Pauw’s deck of cards were unique in that they were a private enterprise, and he was the only manufacturer. As a result, De Pauw did not patent his inventions and it was not a commercial success. A new deck of cards, designed in the 16th century by Italian artisan Bartolomeo Cristofori, was patented in England in 1682. The full-size version of Cristofori’s deck was an innovation.
