Gosh. I ordered the Original and it arrived today. I don´t know what to think of it. I made a point of ordering a 1993 edition, printed in Belgium so I guess Ive got the "right" edition of the Original (as I believe there are other, glossier, more recent versions)..
I thought I would love it, but Im not sure I do. It looks like a photograph of a deck. The images seem a bit further away (maybe it´s the contrast of old-fashioned colours juxtaposed with white borders. Jarrs a little) But it´s the thick black lines which surprised me. I never expected it to look quite so heavy-handed. Maybe I´ll grow to like it (I have the Universal Waite but my first was the British 2-part Blue Box version with the World on the front). The image of the King of pentacles is all but illegible. A murky swirl.
I so want to like it....
