This Single Deck of 52 Playing Cards features ornithologist Robert Ridgway's impressive display of color swatches from 1886, originally used to standardize the descriptions of color of birds. Roomytown's design team in Bath, UK, designed each playing card individually, making use of an array of Ridgway's color swatches.

About Roomytown
Roomytown began with a love of discovering overlooked treasures — antique engravings, botanical sketches, and vintage typography — and giving them new life in modern homes. Each piece has its own history, whether tucked in a museum archive, hidden in an old book, or waiting in a flea market box. Roomytown's Bath studio is where these gems are rediscovered, restored, and reimagined, transforming the past into designs that feel timeless and personal.
