Jonathan Swift Playing Cards

Description

In 2017 we celebrated the 350th anniversary of the birth of Jonathan Swift. Swift was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pampleteer (first for the Whigs and then for the Tories), poet, and cleric who became the Dean of St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. Among many of his works are the better known Gulliver’s Travels and A Modest Proposal.

Dan Sperrin, the brilliant young cartoonist, has produced a unique pack of playing cards featuring images from Swift’s masterpieces and life.
