Came from the GBACG list just now. This is very amusing, for those in to 16th century fashions. Sort of a Fashion dos or don't, using period fashion plates, modernized with Photoshop.

I could envision a set of playing cards using the Bavarian fashion plate originals, which doing a quick google search, found really good copies here, with more info from this blog.

Edit: image originals can be found here.
