My new book, THE CARD, is a novel about a man who picks up cards he finds on the street. Designs for the court cards vary considerably from deck to deck. All of the characters are traditionally shown facing forward except for the Jack of hearts and the Jack of clubs (hence known as one-eyed Jacks) and the King of diamonds. But unlike the unique example shown above, you will never ever find a card where a queen is seen in profile.
