If you are not seeing the "more payment options" button, please just mouse over the space above this text and it should appear.

Please note that this is not a numbered limited edition deck. It does not include the embroidered foldover pouch shown in the images.

This set consists of the large-format cards and the little white booklet in the wooden box. It is not a numbered limited edition deck. However, it has the same format, cardstock and print quality.

The reason we have them is that our printers always have to over-run when printing - the number of over-runs varies a lot and is unpredictable. We have decided to make these available as they make good working decks rather than collectibles. We have tried to price them at a good discount but without devaluing the numbered LE decks for those who already have them.

Please note that having an item in your cart does not reserve it, as other people may be trying to purchase at the same time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- 

This is the LARGE format, limited edition version of The Fantastic Menagerie Tarot. We base our images on our collection of orginal, antique books illustrated by Grandville, so the sharpness and quality of the images is very high. Everything is made in Europe as we don't send any files to countries that have a poor record of legislation on counterfeiting. This helps to protect your deck from being copied.

The deck is a reprint (with some small alterations, and, most importantly, cold-stamping) of our original Fantastic Menagerie Tarot, which has become a hugely sought-after classic deck.

  • This comes with a signed title card but it is not a numbered limited edition deck.
  • 78 very large format fully-illustrated scenic cards, 165 * 100 mm (about 6.5 * 4 inches) plus a title card (79 cards in all).
  • All 78 cards have scenes, and the deck follows a Rider Waite Smith (RWS) structure.
  • Cold-stamped. This is an under-laid ink but gives the impression of a metallic overlay. It is NOT actually metal though, so there are no metal-allergy issues.
  • Printed in Europe under our careful supervision.
  • Printed on 330 gram playing-card stock - this is a German stock with a carbon core for strength.
  • Varnished with semi-matte varnish so that the varnish is not too shiny.
  • A detailed booklet is included. This will have less information than the companion book that we plan, but is comprehensive enough to allow you to knowledgeably use the deck.
