This restoration is based on the 1820-1845 tarot deck created by German-born master cartier Jacob Jerger in Besançon, France. The original decks were printed from carved woodblocks and colored with stencils. The Tarot de Besançon is derived from the earlier Tarot de Marseille. The most notable difference is the replacement of The Popess and The Pope with the Roman gods, Juno and Jupiter. This is the complete 78-card tarot deck and includes an information card and promotional card. The deck is in French and the extra cards are in English. This first edition is limited to 1000 decks. Each deck is individually numbered on the seal. Show more
