Perfect Restoration

This restoration, using the technology of old photo restoration, fine repair of the phenomenon of yellowing paper and a number of stains and blemishes, etc.

And through a number of versions of the comparison, reprecisely fill in the colours, completely corrected the other version of the problem of yellowing colours, dim colours, restore the original style of the original masterpieces.

Fine Brushwork

In the world of tarot cards, the Marseille tarot deck is undoubtedly the most unusual in terms of craftsmanship. Each face is handcarved by the artisan on a wooden board, with fine, smooth lines and clear, vibrant outlines.

The edition of 1709, in particular, is a masterpiece of tarot card production and woodblock printmaking at the time. It accurately reproduces the most original symbolic images of the Tarot cards, with antique and delicate brushstrokes, truly restoring the charm of the Tarot cards.

Vivid expressions

What is most impressive about the 1709 edition is the vividness of the characters’ expressions. The simple yet refined brushstrokes are not only unforgettable, but also exude a sense of vitality and energy.

If you calm your mind, you can discover the emotions and stories that seem to be frozen in each card. Even after three centuries, you can still feel its gaze and call through time and space.

Full of energy

The Marseille Tarot is presented in the form of a Mandorla, which, with certain interpretations, is full of dynamics and has a very sophisticated inner logic.

Three Gift Cards

The original has a red fill in the hole formed between the Le Bateleur’s right hands, while other Marseille Tarot versions do not have this detail, which is corrected here.

The original Hanged Man’s number is written as ‘IIX’, but here it is reversed in the same way as in the Flemish Tarot, resulting in ‘XII’.

Some research has pointed out that it is possible that the No.13 card is facing left in the original Marseille Tarot, so here is an attempt to correct this.
