Hello Prudence, thank you very much for your warm receiving and clarifying to me the doubt on that word that left my head spinning, now the thread for me has its coherence. Like a most of us here, the Tarot, accompany me by practically all the life, and to study it in serious form from my 28 years old, bah, serious, just my 32 it leads me the TDM (and its undeniable that TDM is the Tarot by excellence).
Lamentably they have had to me of LURKER
since most of the times it passes administering it an Spanish forum in [forum removed by moderator] and participating in active form in [forum removed by moderator] [EDIT by order of Mrs. co-moderator]
Well, now regarding what it brings to me, the work of MONSIEUR DODAL :
Like all of us who study the TdM, once we learn to see, to perceive and to enjoy the subtle differences by decks comparisons, Dodal was the one who catched all my attention, affection and respect, simply I fall in love with it
As I knew to read in several post of others enamored with this deck, it is that they regretted the form of the bars where the name of the card and its tipography takes place, studying it and observing it but, not only I saw and found all a series of details that were omitted in but the recent recreation that is arranged in the market (nor to speak of the Cartamundi version).
The work in that I am involved is not easy, is to recover images in many cases extremely deteriorated, by the time passed by and the original blocks as you surely know are very deteriorated,and lines broken details simply disappeared, the own deterioration thanks for the greasiness of the artisan hands (read carbon 14) .
Well Prudence the truth is thats gives to much pleasure to work sometimes as too much as 20 hours each day in contact with each one of these dear arcane friends/to be able to recover by repairing the true outlines that Dodal crystallized.
If someone of you don´t see yet the files, i post some cards to see what is all about my friends.
