Hello, I'm working on a book that is centered around 15th Century tarot, particularly the Visconti decks, and the Sola-Busca tarot. However, within my internal circle, most have recommended I create new cards that are "inspired" by these decks to go with the book. The reason for this is that it seems to get permission to use images of any of the original decks for a book is not possible. Now, I reviewed the Cary-Yale research website and I'm not clear on what the policy is there. Clearly, for the Visconti-Sforza and Cary-Yale, reproduction decks have been published, but again, I'm not clear on the process for permissions on using images of either of these original decks (and the later created "filler" cards) for purposes of use in a book. Forgive my ignorance: Does anyone have some pointers? I do appreciate it.
