Hello all,
OnePotatoe is a lucky man !!
I saw a full deck as I said previously.
You will see it in Marseille in 2013 and my picture of it.
Claude Burdel was french (close Lyon City) he emigrated in Swiss and his sons also becamed cardmakers in Fribourg.
his style is close to Pierre Madenié style but he added some interesting details i.e corona around Sun on Le Soleil card.
With this deck we are much closer to original Tradition than Nicolas Conver deck for exemple. For me of course.
See you in 2013 so ?

Thaks for posting the scans, Abrac! As Kwaw points out, The Sun is indeed very special! I am happy to learn about Burdel, i haven't heard about the deck before... Thanks!

Thanks for the extra info. It seems such a shame that this deck is not discussed more. I've always found the Marseilles decks quite challenging, but the Burdel seems far more accessible to me, if that makes sense. Of all the historical reproductions that have been done, why not this one? The Conver seems to be considered the 'standard' and yet the Burdel was older. Anyway, I'm very new when it comes to Marseilles decks so it's all a learning curve for me.
But it sure was great to see those scans OnePotato posted

Historical Tarots Of Marseille
Hello Sapienza and all,
Yes this Burdel should be more exposed (I mean the real Historical one from OnePotatoe)... and also Pierre Madenié deck (Madenié is from Dijon a City 200 km North to Lyon in France).
I had it too in hand: A wonderfull deck: Equal quality to Burdel and even supérior for some détails.
See my profile for having a list of this jewels such as Arnoult, Bourlion, Chafard, Fautrier and so on.
One day I will shows them but not here sorry for legal reasons.
Regards
Yves

Hello Rafaël.
Ha!
That's actually my deck that you have found.
I bought it at the Christie's auction.
It's also pictured in vol. II of Kaplan's encyclopedia.
It's very nicely preserved.
It is a bit mellow with age, but you would hardly guess that it is over 200 years old.

Thanks so much for sharing Rafaël. Now when I'm off dreaming of a true photo reproduction of the deck I'll have more idea what it would actually look like
