RwS : Strategic Stickers

tmgrl2

chuckle, chuckle, Fulgour....

Methinks thou shouldn't be in the RWS Study Group with this post.....I can see where some might be offended.

Back, Back, Down boy! Back to your Tarot de Marseille where you belong.

Kidding aside, I do love some of my RWS clones...Morgan-Greer which I just got and occasionally the Radiant RW and, of course, the Gilded Tarot....I just "accept" the differences as differences...

And I do love my favorite RWS decks!

(I also love my Tarot de Marseille)...but right now...

Get outta my kitchen! You're in the wrong house!


you little })

hanging up

...I mentioned that in the Jacques Viéville Tarot deck from the year 1643, Justice is numbered VII (Seven) and Strength is numbered IX (Nine). Therefore, IMHO, I wouldn't get all hung up on the Justice/Strength numbering issue.
Do you mean the 1650 Tarot Jacques Vieville? Can we rely on
those numbers, even though by just looking at the Vieville's hand
written numbering, it's obvious that these have been added later
by an individual owner of the deck? That in fact the numbers were
sloppily written wherever there was free space, and always
placed in different locations?

Who numbered the Viéville cards ....

I welcome you to pose the question on the Historical Research board. I'd be interested in hearing the views of those who have seen the original specimen Viéville deck and other antique deck originals up close and personal. Looking at my copy of the Dusserre Viéville photoreproduction, the numbers look like they're engraved or otherwise done at the printer's, not unlike numbers on other antique decks such as the 1760 Conver housed at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris (Héron photoreproduction).

to paraphrase Trigono:

The best answer is that IAQUES VIEVIL, the owner of the deck
and author of all the deck's copyrights had nothing to do with
the printer JACQUES VIEVILLE if such a person ever even existed.

But do keep it! You can get Numbered Stickers!

I think most of the names of the Master CardMakers were not their real names. I was talking with Georges Colleuil, a French tarologist the other day, and he was wondering if the name of Nicolas Conver was not a hint at the fact that he was maybe a convert. A convert from what? Who knows? From Judaism perhaps?

The name Jacques has a historical context doesn't it, when it comes to Master Builders? (Or not?) And "ville" means town. He would come from a town? Which town?

It is all very mysterious.

The Vieville was a Belgian Deck...

Perhaps, if you think so. But first take a look at this lovely
apparition of enlightenment, and imagine her shining there
happily on her own, 'twixt curving lotus plants by the riverside.
