This unique piece belongs to the tradition of Tarot de Besançon—from the name of the French town where these kinds of cards were originally printed.
Produced by Baptiste-Paul Grimaud between 1891 and 1899, this deck curiously substitutes the Arcana of the High Priestess and the Hierophant with the figures of Juno and Jupiter.
Being part of the long-lasting—and still wildly popular—French tradition, this deck represents an important branch of the Marseille genealogical tree. As any other product of the Anima Antiqua line, this too is available in a limited edition of 3,999 copies.
