Circus Theme Playing cards

As its the Anniversary of my American cousin's Death I thought I would take a photo of the Gift she had sent to me  a few years ago. As a child Daphne started collecting Playing cards. Years later she married an Artist. He designed this  pack of cards and after his Death she had them published . I am positive she made the box they are in as she was talented that way.I was told I hadn't to open the pack but I know they have a different theme as I found them online.
