This is such an amazing deck......the
cards are huge and beautiful. They are about 3 1/2" by 7". The
cards are reproductions of one of the oldest and most complete surviving
decks. They are very faithful reproductions, the images showing every
detail from peeling paint to holes punched in the cards. There are
4 cards missing from the deck which were recreated by the artist. The
Tower, the Devil, the Knight of Coins and the 3 of Swords. The minor
arcana are just pips, no scenes. This deck is too large for be to shuffle
easily. I usually don't do major arcana only readings, but if I did
this deck would be great. There is a comprehensive booklet which shows
small pics of the cards with meanings and some history. This is necessary
because there are no titles on the cards. If you don't know your Tarot
symbology you might be at sea without the book. This deck is out of
print now I believe......I got mine on E-Witch in a wonderful custom made
wooden box. It retailed for $39.95, so it wasn't cheap even when
it was in print. If you are a collector or love Tarot history and
see one of these, get it.
Siiighhhh, of course all of the cards are the same size, but I had
to use my handheld scanner and I guess I'm not very good with it.
The backs are just a plain red color, no pattern at all.
