Deck ID?

[HighPriestess]

Someone posted this picture on tumblr and wanted to know which deck it was, but the picture only shows the card backs. Can anyone help them out?

The cards are on the top left.

Seems maybe to show the fronts, bottom left - and I've never seen anything like those !

A sepia rosy cross. Hmmmm...

Stack seems the right size for tarot, but stretching the card in the lower left, I can't make it jive with a tarot image. Yes, inquiring minds want to know!

It being a stock photo image, they may not even be tarot cards. Or they may be some kind of mock-up created with backs but no fronts.

But Rodnee - zey have ze fronts. Look bottom left. VERY weird, as AJ says !

Though I agree - stock images show all sorts of rubbish. Then again - loads here didn't believe the stock images of Darla's Hallmark deck were of a real deck, either... but now it's back in print because of all that.

If the image in the lower left corner is the front of the cards, then it's a landscape-oriented deck.

And depending on your definition of "real," the Hallmark was specifically created for stock image use. It was a complete deck, but wasn't available in any format anywhere until we all expressed interest and encouraged its recreation in a format that could be purchased and used. The same may be the case with the deck in question.

Could be the Wanderwust Lenormand?

The whole photo looks sepia-toned, but here are links to what I am referring..

yep! thats the back!^^ but if that image in corner is front, then judging by the size of free space on the side of the image and orientation, I would say it's probably self printed?) probably one of those old 16/18c old italy/oracle decks?)

btw I'm sure I've seen that back in some oracle video rev on youtube?x,x facepalm

The backs look right. So we'd have to assume that the "card" image shown isn't a part of the same deck. Which makes sense as they look larger (rather than landscape, I think, Rodney ?)

I first read this as "acquiring minds want to know", AJ. I guess it's a Freudian hiccup in my thought process.
