This is a very classy interpretation of the classic Marseilles tarot deck. The artwork is precise and the colouring subdued but consistent and attractive. The pip cards are especially elegant. The slightly larger eyes of the human figures in the deck give an expressiveness that may not appeal to those who prefer the gnomic impassivity of the traditional 18th century version, but this is a small quibble. Many will prefer it. The beautiful book that comes with the deck consists simply of reproductions of larger versions of the 78 cards. The minimal textual commentary is in French. Unfortunately the first time I opened the book the spine cracked and it fell apart into a hundred separate pages, but this didn't detract from my enjoyment of the images. The Sun card oddly follows the pattern of the Sun card from the Vieville tarot, and Le Tarot Noir borrows a couple of other details from other decks. But 99% will be very familiar to those who use the traditional Marseilles deck.
