Well I received the deck today. I was quite surprised by how attractive and rich in atmosphere and readability it is. My first reaction was to flick through all the cards very quickly because my main reservation was a fear of seeing too many famous, iconic images balancing a pentacle on their heads or something (at a slightly off angle) and not being able to take it seriously. But there are only about 4 overly familiar images - the bar at the Folies Bergere for Temperence, Le Déjuner sur L'herbe for the Sun and Van Gogh with a crown on for The Emperor. Oh and a weirdly slimmed down Olympia by Manet. The rest are images which haven't been done to death so it does have a freshness to it which I feared might lack.Looking forward to your impressions ...
Alida store has this deck in stock and there are a few more images up.
I'm not sure about this one. Or rather, I am sure that it doesn't appeal to me as a reading deck but that I shall get it as a collector's art deck to peruse the images....QUOTE]
