Le Fanu
I am currently expecting in the mail this gem of a deck. It has intrigued me for a while now, mainly for being the only historical deck on Albideuter which I don't have nor do I ever remember it being published. How on earth did this slip under the radar?
It is a beautiful deck, some cards are vaguely Bolognese in style. Others less so; the Fool is oddly expressive (is that a dog or a cat hanging off his tunic?) and quite dissimilar to the other Bolognese decks. The beautiful Two of Cups, with its exquisite blood blots on the foliage, says it was produced by the factory of Angelo Valla. Other than that, I have no other information. I don't have it in my hands yet, so I cannot give any more details. A search for either Trieste/Angelo Valla brings up nothing. To my knowledge, it hasn't been mentioned here. Someone must have this deck; can anyone tell me anything about it? There must be some historical deck fans out there who know something about it. Who published it and when?
Come on, get me excited for its arrival!
