Tarot de Marseille: Paris 1890: Anima Antiqua

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. Part of Lo Scarabeo’s Anima Antiqua line, this limited edition and numbered reproduction is a must-have for tarot and history enthusiasts.
