We thought "off with their heads" went out with Marie Antoinette; guess not. This deck of cards epitomizes what Marie's time was all about; all of the picture cards on this "revolutionary" deck are depicted "sans head". If you're wondering what happened to the noggins of all those Kings, Queens and Jacks, just flip the cards over, they are depicted as the decorative motif on the back of the cards. Jokers that they are, the designers of this deck, preserved their own heads of course; you can see them smiling coyly from the aforementioned play piece.
