As part of my growing historical collection I thought I'd add one or two Etteilla decks. But with the various names it's hard to tell which decks are truly different. Can anyone with some knowledge of the Etteilla decks either recommend one or two decks, or describe which of the following are distinct from the others, and which (if any) are close copies? I've been through the thread on Etteilla patterns http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=42589&highlight=Etteilla, but I'm still unclear. Thanks very much.
The decks are:
- Lo Scarabeo's Book of Thoth Etteilla
- Lo Scarabeo's Esoteric Ancient Tarot
- Grimaud's Grand Etteilla
- Dusserre's Princesse Tarot
Any of the above especially recommended for a first purchase?
