2012 PubWest Book Design Awards, Silver Award for Gift/Holiday/Specialty Book. | In the 1930s Arthur Szyk joined a storied artistic tradition by illustrating an exquisite set of playing cards. Painted in his highest style in watercolor and gouache on three sheets of paper, the twelve court cards—four Kings, four Queens and four Jacks—each feature a different Jewish hero from the Bible or ancient history.

Like iconography, heraldic art has the power to communicate very specific meanings without words—useful for making a complex visual statement in a limited space. Szyk's accurate, skillful and creative application of this medieval tradition places him among the most accomplished heraldic artists of the 20th century.
