ihcoyc or Maan, is this Paris Tarot mentioned the Vieville designed Tarot? If it is, it is still available, I believe, as a Heron publication.
ihcoyc said:My favourite vaguely Marseille style deck is the Paris Tarot, a reproduction deck from Grimaud. It duplicates a seventeenth century deck in the Bibliotheque Nationale in France. The book says that it is the oldest printed deck in existence for which we have all the cards.

Vieville and other variations, including my di Gumppenberg:

If you search on google for Di Gumppenberg 1830, the same lycos.fr link comes up with an option to translate into English. Go one screen back and the same picture/page comes up as above, but in English.
Really pretty variations in some ways---in other ways, I can see people finding it an acquired taste.
