Like the Classical Tarots, this deck marks the coming of age of
Tarot in Italy. The classic design of the Marseilles decks,
reinvented by an anonymous artist, exemplifies 19th century Italian
art: detailed, symbolic, and richly colored in vibrant greens,
muted reds, and vivid golds. The whole decadently costumed array of
Tarot archetypes are presented here, along with delicately
ornamented Marseilles style pips. The Court cards are alive with
personality -- the Queen of Swords looks like fun, but the club she
is holding adds an ominous element. The card names are in Italian
and the numbers of the Major Arcana appear in all four corners and
at the center top.
