The Gist of Bid Whist

“The Ghist of Bid Whist” was a book cover commissioned to us. The book was a success in the card game community, boosting the history of the beloved game we know today “Bid Whist”.

How it started…

“The Gist of Bid Whist” was one of our more memorable projects we’ve had the luxury of working on. Lamont Jones (author of book) reached out in interest of creating visual assets for Clyde Hill Publishing. He sent us the first couple of chapters as research material for the project. Out of all the chapters sent- there was one intriguing one that caught our eye, particularly the chapter dedicated to the people responsible for inception of Bid Whist: Pullman Porters

The mission statement for the book was to platform Bid Whist not only on its practice, but its history as well. Furthering the understanding Bid Whist and its cultural significance to Black America.
