Description: Empress Elisabeth of Austria, better known as Empress Sisi, was never happier or more at peace than when she was horseback riding. This design by Deborah Wong, inspired by the famous 1865 portrait of Sisi by Franz Winterhaler, shows the free spirit she was forced to hide behind the facade of laced-up Empress.
Description: Catalina de Erauso was a Basque person whose adventures in Spanish colonial South America (as outlined in her memoir, The Lieutenant Nun) included card game based stabbings and getting hired to courier thousands of llamas. This design by Deborah Wong is inspired by the design of Spanish playing cards of the 17th century, similar to what Catalina would have played with. Rather than the horse on the actual cards, Catalina is pictured alongside a llama (obviously).
