1885 Playing Cards

Bicycle 1885 Playing Cards feature hand-drawn illustrations inspired by Victorian-era design, drawing influence from ornate detailing and historic posters that once advertised new machines, inventions, and adventures.

While the deck carries the familiar Bicycle name and handling quality, its visual identity leans into a historical aesthetic rather than modern styling. The deck includes hand-drawn, illustrated court cards, plus bespoke artwork on the card backs, Ace of Spades, and Jokers, all inspired by Victorian-era ornate design and vintage adventure posters.

Printed by the United States Playing Card Company, this deck balances classic usability with period-inspired design, making it a solid choice for collectors and players who appreciate understated historical themes.
