COMPARISON #1! Conver c. 1760 Tarot de Marseille || Christophe Poncet & Wilfried Houdouin (2017)

JUNE 2018 --- The Conver (c. 1760) is the foundation of modern Tarot de Marseille (Type II TdM). I do NOT currently believe that there was a sacred geometry principles which have been lost to time. But I found the poetry of such speculations appealing. "The Conver deck was printed many times in the 19th century. It became established as the standard TdM in 1930 when Paul Marteau inherited the B. P. Grimaud publishing company and printed the Grimaud Ancien Tarot de Marseille, the prototype for most subsequent French decks. This deck also solidified the Tarot de Marseille designation. In the 19th century, occultists used Tarot de Marseille as the designation for any Italian-suited deck printed in France. Presumably this would include variants like the Besancon and Piemontese decks. Playing card historians like Sylvia Mann and Michael Dummett used the term the same way. But the meaning has drifted, and many people now insist that the only decks deserving the Tarot de Marseille designation are decks close to the Conver pattern." (https://tarot-heritage.com/2017/10/11...) "The Tarot of Nicolas Conver was at the very beginning coloured by stencil. It contained a good deal of green and sky blue. Then, at the moment of the Industrial Revolution, my Camoin ancestor published a version coloured in a modern way using four-colour machines. The green and the sky blue disappeared."
