El Dorado
Where the phrase comes from · Card no. 4068
Spanish for the gilded one, and originally a man rather than a place. Muisca accounts described a chief covered in gold dust who dived into Lake Guatavita. Spanish expeditions turned him into a city and never found it.
No such place exists, which has never stopped anyone from going. Every card here is an original painting of a phrase, free to send by email or by link.
