Ancien Tarot de Marseille
Number of Cards: 79
Recommendation: Use Upright
Supports hidden the blank card.
If we were to rank the most influential modern versions of the Tarot de Marseille, the Grimaud Tarot de Marseille would almost certainly be among the top three.
Its primary sources of inspiration were the 1760 Nicolas Conver Tarot de Marseille, the 19th-century De La Rue reproduction of the Conver deck, and historical card patterns preserved by the Grimaud company. These sources were then carefully redrawn and standardized.
The most recognizable features of the Grimaud Tarot de Marseille are its bright reds, vivid yellows, deep blues, and touches of green. Its color scheme is more consistent and unified than that of the original Conver deck. Compared with the 18th-century woodcut editions, the figures have more regular outlines, the printing is clearer, and the overall design exhibits stronger symmetry.
