What about these delightful cards are so magnetizing? THE ARTWORK! FACTS; Tranny cards Slang for (Transformation) are cards on which the pips are incorporated into an artful scene. They dont stand alone on a white background; they are woven into an illustrated image. Transformation decks enjoyed a relatively brief history as the first cards appeared in 1801, the first deck in 1804, and then merely 50 different styles through 70 decks as the years went by. In the early 1900s, the trend eventually faded away, making decks like these highly sought after. While a few printers experimented with individual cards, the first full deck was printed in Germany. J. G. Cotta was the artist behind the illustrations, which were meant to commemorate the life of Joan of Arc. Since there were 52 cards in the deck, Cotta meant for each one to symbolize a week in the calendar year. The deck was called Die Spielkarten Almanach the Playing Card Almanac. It took until 1833 for the first Tranny deck to get printed in the United States. Charles Bartlett was the designer, though he had help; his design borrowed heavily from the European decks of the time. The primary story told on European tranny decks was the story of Beatrice, or The Fracas.The original design was by Rudolph Ackermann, and could be found printed in an English magazine in 1818-1819. In 1883, Andrew Dougherty printed this deck in his New York factory. But rather than tell a story, this deck was an advertising tool for the MV Company. Thanks to the clever use of the pips, along with comical phrases and characters, the deck is one of the most highly coveted among collectors. A new kind of style appeared in the 1860s. Instead of the cards setting a scene, only the pips themselves contained the scenes. Faces, intricate designs, and other illustrations were only visible within the confines of the diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs, and the backgrounds left clear. A. Crowquill in London was the first to design this kind of deck. In 1863, C.B. Reynolds of Liverpool designed a similar kind in honor of the wedding of Edward VII. Recently, tranny decks have come back into vogue. In the last twenty years, some notable ones have been produced, including one called Key to the Kingdom, Art for the Earth, and Under the Sea.
