This is a Meneghello limited release production of the original "soprafino" deck, an Italian word indicating precious and elegant. The word in a real sense signifies "super-fine" which may interpret as "ultra-refined" or "exorbitantly rich", and was initially distributed by Gumppenberg in Milan. Taking a gander at the King of Batons, the name of the artist C. Dellarocca is recorded on a plinth, and the going with a card, bearing which number you have (out of a sum of 2,000), additionally records the date as 1835.
