Cordel Playing Cards Copag

Original product — we do not work with replicas.

Cordel is a popular form of literature composed of small printed booklets filled with stories told in simple rhymes.

Brought by the Portuguese, it gained strength in the North and Northeast of Brazil. These booklets are hung on strings for sale, hence the name “Cordel.”

The deck’s unique illustrations were created by Ary Falcão, known for his modern woodcut-style art. Each suit represents a different Cordel story:

• Spades (Peixeira/knife): A Chegada de Lampião no Céu – Guaipuan Vieira
• Diamonds (Balloon): História de Juvenal e o Dragão – Leandro Gomes de Barros
• Hearts (Sacred Heart): Testamento da Cigana Esmeralda – Leandro Gomes de Barros
• Clubs (Cactus): Romance do Pavão Misterioso – João Melquíades Ferreira

Have fun and dive into this enchanting universe of the Cordel Deck!

This deck is a true work of art that blends tradition and modernity, capturing the magic of Ary Falcão’s woodcut creations. Celebrate the richness of Brazilian culture with the Cordel Deck — an authentic experience that honors the essence of our country in every card.
