Genius of Nature (playing cards)

I like the look of of these images. Unlike decks that are all plants, animals, or art-details (whatever), these card have a variety of different images. Cannot find scans of all the cards, but the King of Hearts is a happy Rooster, which makes sense to me :)

Think I'll get this deck. Does anyone else have it, use it?

WRONG! The images are taken from the Fitzwilliam Museum of the University of Cambridge. That's what it says on the box. I could have popped down there myself.......

Anyhow, they are nice. I'm not too keen that there are 19 floral/flower cards, but the Tiger, Elephant, Hart, Cockerel etc, go some way to make up for that. I think there may have been several someones who created this deck, one who matched image & suit/rank, another who just plonked any old image on a card. There is one downer = the 9 & 10 of Clubs both have the exact same image :(

Could that be an error in your particular copy, rather than a feature of the deck?
