Ophiel
A job I had in a former life, working as a philatelic describer for an international auction house, has me a bit curious about the actual production of the tarot cards themselves, particularly the periods of the Marseille deck. Unfortunately, my memories from that life, all I learned about stamps, papers, printing, is basically gone, though I still have quite a penchant for laid papers, the parallel lines. (You should see early postage stamps...they are quite interesting indeed!) And, if truth be known, I started that job as a green horn, no experience.
That said, has anyone done any research on these cards, about how they were actually produced? Is there any information available on that? Though my primary interest is in trying to understand the cosmic forces behind the cards, I'd think knowing about their properties in the world of Assiah might prove instructive. I suspect, though, I will have to learn French to learn more about this aspect of the cards!
