The Revived Gassmann Tarot Marseilles

An exceptional historical reproduction of François Gassmann's 1860 Swiss Classic Marseille deck, scanned directly from the original cards!

Historical Significance

This remarkable tarot deck was originally created by François Gassmann (1792-1870) in Geneva, Switzerland. The Gassmann deck represents one of the finest examples of the classic Tarot de Marseille tradition, the forerunner of most modern tarot decks.

Artistic Details

The original deck was crafted using exquisite woodblock printing techniques with hand-painted plum, yellow, and red-orange colors. Though unique in its own artistic expression, this deck belongs firmly within the Tarot de Marseille family of cartomancy.

Tarot Structure

Featuring the same major and minor arcana as contemporary decks, the Gassmann Tarot evokes a timeless baroque style with the original French names for both major and minor arcana. Its historical imagery provides a direct connection to the roots of tarot tradition.
