I stumbled upon a deck entitled "Tarot de los Angeles" or "The Angel Tarot" on Alidastore.com. It is shown as a new addition to the store on the main page, currently at #1 (http://209.227.219.104/index.html). The cards are quite lovely, and although I'm not sure it's a true tarot I am intrigued by it. There is no author listed and Fornier is listed as the publisher. The box and a few cards are shown and it is listed as a 78-card deck of normal proportions.
I can't seem to link to the page, but here is the image:

This is not the Stuart Kaplan Angel Tarot, nor the Robert M. Place Angel Tarot, and as far as I can tell, not Laluce's beautiful Angel Tarot (http://www.tiara.cc/~blue/otarot/orig.html). Kaplan's has more of a Marseille-feel and Place's is also way off, while Laluce's tarot (from what I have seen of the majors) is closer in design but is mostly photo-collaged, while the cards I have seen from this deck are not, so they don't seem to be the same tarot.
I tried searching for it in Google to absolutely no avail. It doesn't seem to be listed on Aeclectic or Tarot Garden or anywhere else. With very little info on the deck and especially no author given, I am at a loss! What do you think about this deck? Does anyone have it, or have more information on it? I think it is very pretty and would like to know more about it before I consider purchasing it...

Thanks for clarifying that laluce. And sorry, I thought your deck was photo-collaged...well, maybe my terminology was wrong. What I really meant was photos mixed with other art (at least some of the people look like photos to me...sorry if I'm way off here). Just ignore me :rolleyes: I love your deck, that's all that matters.
Come on people--doesn't anyone have anymore info on this for me?? Or at least opinions on the deck?

I noticed that deck as well; surely many others did. I'm guessing that since it is a Fournier deck and hence European, that it likely has a European artist too. The bits that I saw certainly got my interest up, and I'll probably end up ordering it, but it would be nice to know more about it. Any devoted Fournier Fans out there?

I'm not sure if it will help, but here is Fournier's webpage.
You may see the prompt about installing the Flash plug-in,
which I did and that's as far as I went (no plug-ins tonight).
Good Luck!

Click on the Union Jack... but then you may
get this on screen prompt:
"Well, It seems that you browser does not have installed
the latest version of the Flash plug-in."
