Firehouse Magazine

From the World of Playing Cards website: "Promotional deck produced by the British gentleman’s magazine “Esquire” c.2002. Each suit and both jokers have the same images, so effectively there are 14 images, each of which is a cover from the magazine published during 2000 or 2001." A full view of all the images can be seen here too. (https://www.wopc.co.uk/uk/esquire) There is a small update to the WOPK entry above because I believe this deck was printed in 2001. There is an insert in the deck offering a discount on a subscription to the magazine. The insert states that the offer will end on August 16, 2001. The latest image published on the face of the cards is May 2001 suggesting that this deck was produced shortly thereafter in order to be distributed with sufficient time for deck owners to take advantage of the subscription offer.
