Book Description

Laffont , 1972. ....Black leatherett/leather with gilt on boards, tipped in pictorial metal plate on front board, headband, tight clean and square, former owners name on inside front board, red end papers, 240 pages. "When and where did tarot cards originate? What are the meanings of the symbolic pictures? How does one spread and read the cards? Do the cards really foretell the future? I have sought in this volume to provide answers to these and many other questions constantly asked about tarot cards, while opening up new vistas for tarot card appreciation. Also presented are illustrations of some of the many different varieties of tarot cards used in furtune-telling and the games of tarock and tarot rump. Some of the cards shown date from the 15th century such as the Minchiate of Florence cards, the Sforza-Visconti pack from Milan and the Tarocchi of Mantegna cards. Other illustrations include tarot packs currently popularized by U. S. Games Systems, Inc. and Muller & Cie, Switzerland, including the 1JJ Tarot Deck, The Rider Waite Pack as well as the B. P. Grimaud pack known as Tarot of Marseilles. I believe "Tarot Classic" will serve to bridge the gap between the tarot pack as a mehtod of fortune-telling and its historical significance as a work of art expressed in many varieties during the past several centuries."
