I received mine....
Hello everybody,
Today Tuesday 26th June and back from work, I got THE Deck.
After I put all the 78 cards on my table with my 22 Majors handcrafted Noblet aside, I decided to:
Get my Catalogue from 1984 BNF Exposition "Tarot, Jeu et magie"
( I rush to my private zone area full of computer, books, decks, photos and all this stuff).
Take my ruler (where the hell is gone this piece of plastic ! Aargh !!!)
Compare this 3 sources:
Ouf ! here we are:
P. 65 BNF Noblet is 92 X 55 mm.
On hand stenciled 22 Majors, measures are:
From side to side: 94.5 X 59 mm
From black line to black line:90 X 54.5 mm
On 78 cards new version, measures are:
From side to side: 94 X 61 mm
From black line to black line:91.5 X 55 mm
My first conclusion is that:
The 78 cards brand new edition is more faithful regarding original Jean Noblet deck from B.N.F (Bibliothèque Nationale française).
After this (no, in fact I am lying I firstly looked to colors
. ), I feel colors and for this no doubt that a craftsman work is uncomparable:
My second conclusion is that:
I definitly vote for my 22 Majors handmade deck.
Last pain for my eyes, I got my "loupe" (magnifying glass). Zoom 11 x.
And of course I voted again for my 22 Majors. A pure pleasure, to see the material of paint, so red, so blue, so yellow ect...
But back to more reasonnable distance ( I am not reasonnable, I know that Roxanne and Jean Claude
) This 78 cards version is really great because it was necessary to organise this rebirth, this travel through Time for this so Modern design deck. An original man this Sieur Noblet !!!
My last conclusion is that:
I am nut of Tarot...
