Tarot Mosaics at the Chateau de Avenieres

Oh wow! Aren't they beautiful. The images are very Wirth-like. I guess the timing would be right.
 

Adam McLean

Alain Bocher the artist and creator of the beautiful
Tarot de la Rea, has written a book on the Chateau
des Avenieres. He has published this on a CD-Rom rather
than as a printed book, probably because of the high costs
of printing the imagery in colour.
This book on CD-Rom provides us with wonderful
colour photographs of many of the Tarot mosaics, and
provides a history as well as an analysis of the imagery.
The text is in French.

You can buy this book entitled 'Message à la femme
du Verseau' from
