Tarot Arnoux & Amphoux 1801

TAROT ARNOUX & AMPHOUX Marseille 1801, France. This Limited Edition facsimile tarot deck, with only 1500 copies issued, is one of the rare, completely preserved ancient tarots that were originally created and printed in Marseille in the early 1800s. The French master card makers Arnoux and Amphoux crafted one of the rarest Marseille tarot decks still in existence today. Very well preserved, with its uncluttered graphics and vibrant colors, this original tarot deck possesses a modern aspect, prefiguring the Cubism style, which appeared a century later, at the beginning of the 20th century. The Arnoux & Amphoux deck includes 78 cards plus two cards explaining the historical background, one in French and one English.
