Master of the Company 2002-3: Roderick Somerville, M.A.

The design chosen for this year's cards celebrates several things. Above all, however, a deliberate effort has been made to recall the style of design used on many of the Company's cards prior to 1900 when the Arms of the Company were always the most prominent feature.

For the first time in about 20 years this year's WCMPC packs have been both designed and printed in the U.K.
