Restoring the old cards is something I have missed doing since I passed on my website to my daughter who is carrying on with taking care of lovers of the traditional cards.
But here's another one, not quite 100 years old. And it's almost ready. On the Lenormand Museum site it calls it the Schneider & Co. Lenormand and dates it at 1918.
Strange that none of the antique decks that I have restored has ever made it to the deck listings on this site but there are plenty that I have either found or been provided with scans, from 150 year old decks up through the early 20th century. Some restored, some as-found. But if you delight in the genuine antique cards and the ones that are commercially available are not enough, you can find several more on the Game of Hope website.
Some are filled with period images with sumptuous and vibrant original art evocative of each of the symbols. Some are contain spare line drawings and others feature elegantly detailed sketches. There are also a couple of decks that are attributed to Mlle Lenormand that contain a some cards that diverge from the decks that we are accustomed to.
And if you want to have your own copy of the original Philippe Lenormand instruction sheet to sift through all the current information and get back to basics, you can find it there, too.
