Hi Cerulean
The image of the front is very much the same indeed, the back however is plain blank, no pattern or decoration thus exists on them. card stock is thick and old.
[QaUOTE=Cerulean;3140762]Unfortunately, as I checked online at the Christie's Auction House catalog, the Lot 142 partial photograph doesn't seem to be listed. Here is the complete description as transcribed from page 113 of 2006 Historic Cards and Games: the Stuart and Marilyn Kaplan Collection: Wednesday, June 26, 2006.
The description is so like your deck, I really think yours is from the Kaplan collection.
Lot 142...(last deck listed of 7 sold together)...
circa 1900, maker unknown, 36 of 36 cards, lithography, each card is horizontally divided, the bottom half more or less corresponds to traditional Lenormand series, the top half often are engmatic, both designs are framed by planetary and zodiacal symbols, the imagery may have been inspired by cards published in Berlin by Beuckert & Radetzki in 1880, backs are dots and crescents in black, colorful tuck box flat (from another deck?), instruction sheet with losses, one card has some surface loss otherwise in generally fine condition.
The lot of 7 decks were priced together as $300-500.[/QUOTE]
