This deck is the book box edition of the Rx Almanac set of custom playing cards designed in collaboration with Meadowlark Pharmacy and printed in 2022 by Legends Playing Card Co.
The deck was inspired by an old pharmacy Almanac from 1926, found in 2021 by Jonathon Lamarque, one of the pharmacists of Meadowlark Pharmacy. The booklet showed that in the early 1900s, pharmacies were not only a place to buy medications: they also sold all types of items, from milk to birdseed. With this concept in mind, we decided to create a pharmacy Almanac deck of cards with different advertisements, rich in illustrations, and with a sense of humour.
