Created in 1801 by French master card makers J.H. Arnoux and A.E. Amphoux, this Marseille tarot is one of the rarest and best-preserved historical decks still known today. Its crisp lines, vibrant colors, and surprisingly modern feel—even hinting at the Cubist style that would emerge a century later—make it a true standout in tarot history. Unlike many early illuminated decks from 15th-century Milan that were designed for gaming, the Arnoux & Amphoux Tarot was explicitly crafted for divination. This stunning reproduction honors the original in every detail, offering readers and collectors alike a vivid glimpse into one of tarot's most remarkable and complete surviving decks.

Includes 78-card deck plus two cards explaining the historical background, one in French and one English.
