True...I do love the art of the Wonderland, and this deck won't replace it, but it will be a lovely addition. I should have been clearer in my original post: it's not necessarily the art that I feel is superior (as you said, it's an apples to oranges comparison) but somehow I feel the Alice Tarot will be a better reading deck for me. Wonderland is so fun to look at, but when I try to read with it I'm usually left scratching my head..or just giggling. Of course I won't know til I actually have this deck, but from the scans I've seen I do think it'll speak a bit more clearly.
Have you considered what scene you will use for the Fool? I thought the Mad Hatter was a funny choice, in a literal "foolish" sense, but I sort of expected to see Alice there, as it is *her* journey, after all. I'm most looking forward to seeing your take on this particular card!
