Introducing a precisely restored and digitally hand-recreated reproduction of the next Cotta’s almanac violet deck (VI) full of history, for the sixth time, continuing after the previous purple-pink (V), red (IV), yellow (III), green (II), and blue one (I), which was the first published complete transformation playing card deck in the world!

The idea behind the concept of Cotta’s transformation decks was to create a series of six decks on an annual basis from 1805-1811. The violet Knightly Orders 1811 almanac deck is the sixth in a series of six famous transformation playing card decks we planned to release…This sixth Cotta’s almanac playing cards deck was originally published in 1811.

The court card figures depict members of various knightly orders and the characters are in the robes of various orders of real knighthood/damehood or spiritual orders, while the theme of number cards is romantic or even spiritual with a variety of subjects & sixteen of pip cards have scenes that can be considered illustrative of the four seasons.

Additionally to the series of Cotta’s almanac decks, all influenced by notable authors, and bottom lined as somehow always mysteriously connected with German poetic genius Johann Christoph Friedrich (von) Schiller, this one might also draw on aspects from another Schiller’s cosmopolitan thinker philosophical response work – especially when interfered with surveying public question about his quiet Masonic potential membership, but this has not been proven yet…
