Tarot Deck Gift Set

The Original Tarot is a copy of the original deck, in which one of the major adjustments was improved depth of color. (note: The original palates were destroyed during the bombing on London during WW II.) The cards themselves are 2 3/4" by 4 3/4", of good quality, glossy card stock. The backs show a 1/4" white border surrounding the re-instituted background of white and blue Tudor roses and Lilies. The faces show the same 1/4" white border surrounding a central picture. The Greater Arcana show the card number at the top of the card, with the title across the bottom. The court cards show the suit and title across the bottom of the card. The pips show the card number across the top of the card, with full scenes in each card.

Each card is rich in symbolism and clear in its design. It doesn't have the more modern appeal of some recently published decks, but there are many subtleties in these paintings, which means that years after starting to use this deck you will be noticing new details.
