Created by François Gassman in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1840, this tarot deck is a distinctive member of the Tarot de Marseille tradition, one of the most enduring styles in cartomancy. The Tarot de Marseille, which paved the way for many modern decks, is reflected in the design of this deck, which includes the traditional major and minor arcana. The artwork evokes a timeless baroque feel, and the cards retain the original French names for both the major and minor arcana.
