Discover the Besançon style of tarot with this new, limited-edition deck from Lo Scarabeo.
Originally produced in 1870 by the famous Parisian cardmaker J. Gaudais, this deck is in the Piemontese, also known as de Besançon, style of tarot. Now you can add this limited-edition Anima Antiqua deck to your collection.
First published in the French capital in the second half of the 19th century, these Tarots de Besançon have a distinctive aesthetic feature: a diagonal bar running through the images of the Major Arcana and the court cards, dividing and mirroring the subjects in an unprecedented way. Like all other products in the Anima Antiqua series, this one is available in a limited edition of only 3,999 pieces.
This reproduction was created through meticulous research and is accompanied by a detailed booklet that delves into the origins and historical context of the cards. Printed on high quality card stock and packaged in a premium box with a lift-top lid, this deck is a must-have work of art that will help bring clarity to your divination practice.
