Shadows Of London (Moonshine Edition) - Ultra Low Seal
RM600.00
London 1843. The construction of Big Ben begins, but there are already many bells tolling long echoes through the dark streets of London. These narrow streets are inhabited by suspicious figures that cast long shadows. A thief, a beggar, a prostitute, a corrupt politician and his cunning wife. All sceptical and scheming about the intentions of the shadowy figure right around the corner and at the end of the street.
Moonshine Edition
The Moonshine tuck is manufactured in a horisontal format with a black soft touch stock for a truly exquisite victorian feel. The tuck exterior is adorned with intricate and detailed gold foil on all sides, inspired by luxury brand tobacco- and matchbox packaging from the time period. It has a fully custom stamp-like, numbered tuck seal.
The Moonshine number and face cards are designed in a classic two-way layout with index in all four corners for optimised playability. The court cards are drawn by hand in collaboration with professional illustrator Patrick Leis and feature characters inspired by Victorian archetypes, like Jack the Ripper, Dr Jekyll, Sherlock Holmes and others.
With the Pennyless diptych scenery I want to illustrate a rough and poor district, while the Moonshine diptych scenery represents an upper class mercantile main street. I hope you'll find an interest in the contrasts and the stories they tell.
