A Tarot de Marseille printed from an original 1840 edition — with a fascinating piece of Victorian history baked in.
The Gassman Tarot de Marseille was first produced by François Gassman of Geneva, Switzerland in 1840. Part of the Tarot de Marseille family — the forerunner of most modern tarot decks — this deck boasts the same Major and Minor Arcana as contemporary decks, with imagery evoking a timeless baroque style and the original French names throughout.
Printed in the USA from the original 1840 edition on high-quality 350gsm coated card stock with a linen finish, full size at 4.75 × 2.75 inches.
Seller’s note: The specific copy this deck was printed from was censored at some point in its history — potentially during the prudishness of the Victorian era. Whoever owned this deck painted over the nudity present in a few cards. We think this adds to its historical intrigue, though we recognise some readers may feel differently.
