Ambraser Hofjagdspiel, c.1440/45, is attributed to Konrad Witz and his workshop in Basle. It was found in a collection at the castle of Ambras (Innsbruck, Austria) in the 16th century, hence its name ‘The Court Hunting pack of Ambras’. The pack originally consisted of fifty-six cards in four suits, and the suit symbols are lures, herons, hounds & falcons,which all relate to the theme of heron hunting. The thematic consistency in the pack is remarkable and must rank as the culmination of iconographic treatment of the hunting theme in playing cards.
