Whoops ... I bid on impulse on eBay, and won by mistake thinking it was a Tarot deck.

Anyone seen this before? It looks like a deck of playing cards, illustrated with images from the Vieville Tarot.

Yes, I have seen this. I think that's exactly what it is. And it has quite regular, conventional playing card borders.

That's what I thought too. When I get it (ie, when it makes it through the postal strike here in Canada) I'll post pictures.

There's a thread about this deck. There's talk about the court cards possibly being taken from some other deck.

Yes, I found it and posted in it about a week after I started this one *blush*

Still waiting for them to arrive, but with rotating postal strikes here I'm not holding my breath.

Watch out for the old Trionfi.com link on that other thread--it crashed my browser.

Cheers Debra. I also have no luck with the link now, but it hasn't crashed me (using firefox). I've edited the old link now.

Shame, I can't find ANY Vieville cards at Trionfi, whatever I search for causes the same search-page to reload.
