Restoring the Tarot de Paris (17th century) ?

Yeah, it would take some time.....

I'm guessing that it would be about a year before any decks were done. That's roughly how long the Payen took- maybe I could do it faster using some of the techniques I developed with the Payen... Or maybe I'd get mired in details and it would take longer!

I've got another tarot project that I'm also considering. I'll have to figure out what I want to invest so much time in before embarking on such a long project.

SolSionnach.. don't you have a link to a website with good scans of the cards?
As I said, talk to Gregory!

No, I don't know of any website with scans.... :*

Trionfi has scans of 16 of the original majors. The other 6 are from the reprint.

Nice scans Le Fanu, thanks! :)

I would also like at least 2 copies this time.

My copy of the Jean Payen has led to my re-discovering of the Marseilles, the antiques, hand made decks, etc.

Enjoy whatever you decide to do.

At Trionfi, six of the scans are from a cleaned up version that doesn't have the BN logo at the bottom. Anyone happen to know where they come from? Here's a picture for comparison. The one on the left is the 1985 reproduction and on the right is the other one.

I would, of course, be in line for this. I adore your Payen so very much. How did you go exploring copyright options?

Any way that the TdP, if it ever happened, could be on thicker stock?

I'd be happy if the TdP could just be. Preferably by thinbuddha.
