Bonjour and Hello all,
Doing a facsimile is a mission that should be done by Museums who ownes some original tarots. More specificly for National Museum as British Museum, B.N.F Paris ect...
But finances are a problem that block this type of operation for Museums.
Doing a restoration, restitution, new versions, mix of uncomplete tarots packs, is more devoted to private sector.
Personnaly I decided to do both facsimiles and also restitutions because Museums are reluctant to act and I can't wait for an hypothetic decision of any of them.
Doing a Noblet tarot facsimile is a financial risk for a private actor as me but I support Joseph H. Peterson in his attempt and his proposition with his supernumerary cards, options in drawing ect... He try to find a financial balance and propose something more or less satisfactory.
I would have not done it for sure (and will not in future) because I estimate that many other tarot decks deserves to be published in priority.
Two tarot decks per year is my rythm of production for 7 coming years....
Plus some tarot projects that tease me.
