Description: SUPER RARE!! Tarot de Louttre B by Marc Antoine Bissiere - c. 1981 - OOP!! - MINT!! I have not opened this tarot so I must rely on Tarot Garden for the individual card images. It is a sturdy two piece box of cards as shown in the pictures. It contains a still shrink wrapped set of 78+ cards. I assume it is the first printing for the Musee des Arts Decoratifs show and not a subsequent printing. Hence the higher asking price. From the package with Google Translate: This Cartomancy game Original work by M. Louttre B. was published by the Museum of Decorative Arts And GRIMAUD-DUCALE playing cards on the occasion of the inauguration of the exhibition old playing cards a collectors dream which was held on October 24, 1981 on January 4, 1982, at the museum of Decorative Arts in PARIS From Tarot Garden: "Minimalistic tarot published in 1981, as part of he opening of an exhibition entitled 'Antique Playing Cards: A Collector's Dream.' There are no people depicted on the cards; rather, the artist features key symbollic objects drawn from the Marseilles Tarot. Several of the major arcana cards are oddly numbered; for example, both the Emperor and the Lovers cards are numbered as 'VI.'" From Aecletic Tarot: Rachel Pollack reviews this deck in her book of deck reviews, "The New Tarot" (Overlook Press, 1990), in fact it's the first review in the book. I'll quote a few sentences: "In 24 October 1981, the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris opened an exhibition titled 'cartes a jouer anciennes, un reve de collectionneurs.' As part of the exhibition they commissioned this highly original Tarot deck from M. Louttre B. The style of this deck is impressionistic, deliberately rough, with a sense of incompleteness, the picture seeming to emerge half finished." New, cards are sealed and encased in an 2-piece box which is then encased in an outer cardboard sleeve. The outer sleeve has some minor staining. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
