PIN-UP'S & EROTICA

-9-

This deck was printed in Russia and published by Dragon Productions as "Henderson Celtic Art", probably in 2008. We acquired the deck through a Dutch collector, who had bought it in the US during the 52+ Joker convention in Las Vegas. As we wanted to know something more about this deck, we googled the title and came in touch with the original artist, Don Henderson.
He knew about this publication, but warned us that it was an illegal one that was made in Russia. Don had tried to find the person(s) responsible for this edition, but failed to get a name. He told us that the maker had taken the images for the deck from his website. And "Dragon Productions" even has the audacity to claim copyright on the small folded part of the top flap of the box. It's a pity that these things happen. The good news is that Don is looking at possibilities to publish a good quality deck with his work and we're on his list if it ever gets that far.

The quality of the cards in this deck is indeed questionable. It seems like a "digitally printed" deck and the used carton is a little too thick and poorly laminated. On top of each card it reads "Erotic Collection" and on the bottom "Don Henderson".

All the figures are entwined in a Celtic ornamental design.

The deck consists of 52 cards and 2 jokers.

The title and logo that Don Henderson uses on his website was "stolen" and used on the sides of the box.
