Let me confirm one thing about 1949 version.
Please see p1 (INTRODUCTION). Is there a footnote which is exactly the same as that of 1970 version?
"Ce Tarot est celui qui fut édité en 1761 par Nicolas Conver, maître cartier à Marseille, qui avait conservé les bois et coloris de ses lointains prédécesseurs. Ce Tarot est actuellement édité par B.P.Grimaud, qui recueillit la succesion de Conver et put ainsi continuer l'impression du Tarot traditionnel sous sa forme originale."
Thank you in advance
Hello Kenji,
yes, there is exactly the same footnote on the 1949 printing
BTW I have four copy of Marteaus book:
1949, 1970, 1977 and 1984
On all four books you can find exactly the same text and the same layout on each page.
The only difference I could find is quite funny:
on the 1979 printing (the one like yours with the glued Camoin Conver pictures) there is the name PAUL MARTEAU written at the bottom of the page 193
This is not on the three other copy.
Maybe Camoin can answer why these pictures are on the 1970 printing.
I noticed another little thing:
in the booklet written by Tchalai that comes since 1981 with the Grimaud TdM, Tchalai mentions Marteaus book and add a footnote where he says:
"Editions Arts et métiers Graphiques. Attention, cherchez l'édition de 1949."
(Be carefull, look for the 1949 edition)
Best
